Field experiment was conducted to observe the response of organic manures and micronutrients on vegetative growth, yield and quality attributes of carrot. The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10) of three replicates each. Data on plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves, fresh weight of leaves, dry weight of leaves, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, length of root, diameter of root, girth of root, fresh weight of root, dry weight of root, yield of root, T.S.S. content and ascorbic acid were taken and analyzed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results revealed that all growth character, yield parameters and quality attributes were significantly improved by organic manures and micronutrients. The highest values for plant height (96.82 cm), number of leaves (16.78), length of leaves (67.57 cm), fresh weight of leaves (127.78 g), dry weight of leaves (17.03 g), fresh weight of plant (270.57 g), dry weight of plant (37.48 g), length of root (29.25 cm), diameter of root (5.10 cm), girth of root (13.58 cm), fresh weight of root (142.79 g), dry weight of root (20.45 g), yield of root/plot (3.42 kg), yield of root/ha (342 q), T.S.S. content (9.27 0Brix) and ascorbic acid (5.76 mg/100 g) were recorded with treatment (FYM + Vermicompost + Neem cake + Poultry manure + Zinc + Boron). The values of these parameters were recorded minimum under control i.e. treatments T1.
