Abstract
Abstract Sensory analysis was performed on 3 advanced hybrid carrot ( Daucus carota L.) selections, and the genetically nonbitter cucumber hybrid ‘County Fair’ ( Cucumis sativus L.). The crops were grown in field plots of silt loam amended with 90 MT/ha of industrial or municipal sludge and a control with no sludge application. The 3 bed types used were a ground level bed, a 15-cm raised bed, and a 15-cm raised bed of unamended topsoil over prepared ground bed (overcover bed). Carrots produced in industrial sludge-amended soil and raised bed had the harshest, least desirable flavor. Cucumbers grown in raised and overcover beds produced the most bitter fruit.
