A master’s thesis was discussed at the College of Agriculture, University of Karbala, on the role of spraying boron and sugar alcohol (sorbitol) on the growth, yield, and quality of carrot (Daucus carota L.).
The study aimed to determine the effect of spraying different concentrations of boron and sugar alcohol on growth indicators, yield, and some quality parameters of carrot.
The thesis was presented by the researcher Salwa Abbas Mutaib.
The study recommended the preferential use of sugar alcohol, as it helps improve the absorption of nutrients and increase growth efficiency.
The combined treatment of boron and sugar alcohol also showed a positive effect in increasing yield quantity and improving root quality in terms of size and weight.
The study recommended applying these treatments in carrot cultivation to obtain higher productivity and better crop quality.
