The study was conducted to assess the effect of spacing and steckling size on seed yield and seed yield attributing characters of carrot, cv. Hisar Gairic, at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2018-19. The results revealed that maximum seed yield (7.62q/ha) was obtained with plant spacing of 60 x 45 (Paired row on ridge) which was statistically at par (7.39q/ha) with plant spacing of 60 x 30 cm (Single row on ridge). Among the steckling lengths, maximum seed yield (7.01q/ha) was recorded with steckling length of 8cm while yield was minimum (6.03q/ha) with steckling length of 4cm. Other yield attributing characters such as
number of seeds per primary umbel (2058), number of seeds per secondary umbel (1538), seed yield per primary umbel (3.19g), seed yield per secondary umbel (2.20g), seed yield per plant (18.39g), test weight (1.97g) and seed yield (7.01q/ha) were also recorded maximum with steckling size of 8 cm. It is concluded from the study that plant spacing of 60x45 (Paired row on ridge) and steckling size of 8 cm is optimum for higher seed yield in carrot.
