Year: 2025

The key to increasing carrot yield is to produce a quick and uniform harvest. Rapid early leaf growth and development of a strong root system will help minimize variability in morphological traits and increase carrot yield. Carrot seeds are small and irregular in shape. To achieve optimal density, pre-sowing seed treatment followed by single-seed sowing is necessary. The purpose of this study is to determine some physical properties of carrot seeds, namely size, sphericity, surface area, bulk de
