To find out the effect of plant density on growth and yield of okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus L.)

Abstract

In order to explore the possibility of improving growth and yield of okra an experiment entitled “To find out the effect of plant density on growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) have been conducted at the research farm of AKS University Satna, M.P. During kharif search of 2015-16. Experiment was laid out in RBD (with factorial concept) with three replications. Experiment compromised of three spacing’s viz., 60x30cm, 60x45 and 60x60cm. The spacing’s 60x45cm had significant influence on most of the parameters such as plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant and yield parameters such as days to first fruit set, days to 50% fruit set, fruit yield per plant (g.), fruit yield per plot (kg) and fruit yield per hectare (q).
