Abstract The r values between core/whole root diameter ratio and soluble solids of roots of carrot ( Daucus carota L.) varied from 0.385 to - 0.473 depending upon cultivar and location. The r value for the cultivar means between the same variables was -0.434. Selection for core size has little potential as an indirect method for raising soluble solids. A correlation of 0.621 was found between specific gravity and soluble solids in ‘Nantes Strong Top’.
