Growth and Fruit Yield of Okra as Influenced by Different Growing Environment
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on okra crop during summer season 2009 at Anand to known the effect of weather on growth and fruit yield of okra. An experiment was laid down in split plot design with five dates of sowing viz. 15th February, 1st March, 15th March, 1st April and 15th April and four replications. The results revealed that the growth parameters like plant height (cm) and leaf area index (LAI) as well as fruit yield were found decreased significantly with delayed sowing. The average plant height and LAI were recorded maximum 36.5cm and 0.64 respectively in 15th Feb sown crop. The green fruit yield was also maximum 9524 kg/ha in the crop sown on 15th Feb followed by 7177 kg/ha in 1st March sown crop. Correlation study between weather variables and fruit yield showed that the highest correlation coefficient (r = -0.962**) was obtained with BSS during vegetative phase followed by T min (r = -0.971**) during reproductive phase with the fruit yield of okra. Step wise multiple regression model was developed with the combination of Tmin and BSS that explained more than 97% variability in fruit yield of okra.
