The study was conducted with six sowing times of carrot viz., M₁ Sept 2^nd week, M₂ Oct 2^nd week, M₃ Nov 2^nd week, M₄ Dec 2^nd week, M₅ Jan 2^nd week, M₆ Feb 2^nd week having two conditions viz., C₁ open condition, C₂ shadenet condition (35% shade). All the parameters interms of vitamin C, TSS, Carotene, reducing sugars, total sugars were significantly differed among the sowing times at different conditions. The highest ascorbic acid (4.71 mg/100g) and highest TSS (11.37 ⁰Brix) was recorded in December sowing, highest β-carotene (4.51 mg/100g), highest reducing sugars (1.48 mg/100g) and highest total sugars (4.63 mg/100g) were recorded in November sowing.
