Abstract

“Tropical”, a new annual variety of carrot was compared with the biennial varieties “Nantes” and “Kuroda”, in a field trial, during the end of the rainy season, in Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil. After three weeks of the seeding, the plants were sprayed with Difolatan 50, at ten days intervals to control the attack of Alternaria dauci (Kühn) Groves & Skolko. ";Tropical” was significantly the best in yielding marketable roots of cilindrical shape, which is preferred to the conical one of “Kuroda” by the Brazilian consumer. No marketable yield was obtained from “Nantes” because of its high susceptibility to Alternaria blight. “Tropical” showed to be almost as resistant as “Kuroda” to this disease. There were some bolting plants in all plots of the new variety.
