| description | Carrot cultivation in Colombia reached 9,000 hectares in 2020. The production chain of this crop faces various problems, among which marketing and nutrition stand out, the latter a decisive factor for performance. Some studies claim that with the use of hybrids in combination with irrigation and balanced fertilization, yields greater than 70 t ha-1 can be obtained. The commercial competitiveness of crops is related to the timely, adequate and efficient application of nutrients; element absorption curves are tools that offer effective information on how much the crop assimilates during its phenological cycle, allowing us to know the minimum required amount of elements for the specific area. A carrot crop was established to determine the foliar absorption curves of macronutrients (N, P, K, Mg and Ca). The yield obtained was 39.6 t ha-1, with 552,500 plants/ha. K was the element with the highest absorption 147 days after sowing with 29.36 kg ha-1 for the leaves and 27.74 kg ha-1 in the root and a total of 57.1 kg ha-1. The order of the other elements was N, Ca, P and Mg. This information is useful for managing carrot nutrition in order to make fertilizer management efficient and improve yield. |

El cultivo de zanahoria en Colombia alcanzó 9.000 ha para el año 2020 y la cadena de producción de este cultivo afronta diversos problemas, entre los que se destacan la comercialización y la nutrición, este último un factor decisivo para el rendimiento. Algunos estudios aseguran que con el uso de híbridos en combinación con riego y fertilización balanceada se pueden obtener rendimientos mayores a 70 t ha-1. La competitividad comercial de los cultivos está relacionada con la oportuna, adecuada y eficiente aplicación de los nutrientes; las curvas de absorción de elementos son herramientas que ofrecen información eficaz sobre cuanto asimila el cultivo durante su ciclo fenológico, permiten conocer la cantidad mínima requerida de los elementos para la zona específica. Se estableció un cultivo de zanahoria para determinar las curvas de absorción foliar de macronutrientes (N, P, K, Mg y Ca). El rendimiento obtenido fue 39,6 t ha-1, con 552.500 plantas/ha. El K fue el elemento de mayor absorción a los 147 días después de siembra con 29,36 kg ha-1 para hojas y 27,74 kg ha-1 en la raíz y un total de 57,1 kg ha-1. El orden de los demás elementos fue N, Ca, P y Mg. Esta información es útil para el manejo de la nutrición en zanahoria a fin de hacer eficiente el manejo de fertilizantes y mejora en el rendimiento.
