Effect of different spacing and NAA on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to standardize influence of different level of spacing and NAA application on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) at Vegetable Research Scheme, Regional Horticultural Research Station of the Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during summer season (2023). The treatment details include, four spacing levels, (S1-45 cm x 30 cm, S2-45 cm x 15 cm, S3-60 cm x 30 cm and S4- 60 cm x15 cm) along with foliar application of different NAA concentration (N0- 0, N1- 50, N2-100 and N3-150 ppm) were given at 30, 45 and 60 DAS. Treatment combination (S4N3- 60 cm x 15 cm spacing and NAA -50 ppm) recorded higher nunber of branches (2.35). In case of individual treatment of spacing, plant height and internodal length were recorded higher (85.29 cm and 5.67 cm respectively) in S2 (45 cm x 15 cm) and NAA 50 ppm recorded higher number of branches (2.35) and stem girth (4.88 cm).
