“…Therefore, other microclimate factors also contribute significantly to the performance of the tested okra genotypes. During the growth period, okra requires a minimum temperature of 18 to 30°C (Makinde et al 2022).…”

Abstract. Abdillah SM, Syukur M, Suwarno WB, Ritonga AW, Wahyudi A. 2023. Genotype sensitivity and adaptability for fruit yield in red and green okra on environmental change. Biodiversitas 24: 4289-4298. Okra is vegetable plant consumed in immature and beneficial plants of various health. For breeders, this crop had a big chance to develop a high-yield genotype in various conditions. To develop a new variety must be known adaptability and stability in environment tests. This research aimed to evaluate the fruit yield response, sensitivity, and adaptability of okra genotypes in four environment trials. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in each environment, with ten okra genotypes as the treatment. The AMMI-1, AMMI-2 and GGE biplot was used to illustrate genotype stability and their adaptability. Genotype by environment interaction significantly affected fruit yield, with the environment having a large contribution, with SWR01 being the highest yield. The rate of rainfall and PC1 were explained as 36.98% and 70.17% to the GEI sum of squares, respectively. ‘ZAHIRA’ and ‘GSO03’ showed sensitivities to the rate of rainfall. Genotypes ‘SWR01’ and ‘GSO03’ were the most favorable genotype according to ASV and yield performance across environments The AMMI-1, AMMI-2 and GGE biplot confirmed that both were the most suitable genotype for developing a recent variety of okra in a wide environment.

“…The nutrients vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K are also abundant in them. The production of okra in Nigeria has increased due to its high nutritional value, as it provides important sources of protein, vitamin A and C, carbohydrates, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and other minerals, which are often lacking in people's diets [25,26]. Its medicinal abilities can be seen in the treatment of peptic ulcers and its use as a source of plasma replacement in body fluids [27].…”

This study examined the impacts of climate change on okra and tomato yields. Fertilizer consumption and credit to the crop sector were considered as covariates in the analysis. Time-series data, spanning a period of 40 years, were obtained from various sources. An autoregressive distributed lag model was applied to analyze short- and long-term impacts of climate change and agricultural inputs on okra and tomato yields. Not all variables were stationary at levels (order zero), but they were all significant at first difference, indicating the presence of cointegration. The Bound’s test F-ratio was statistically significant and implied the presence of long- and short-term relationships among the variables studied. The mean temperatures had negative impacts on okra and tomato yields in both the short and long terms. Credit guaranteed to the crop sector had positive short- and long-term impacts on tomato yield; fertilizer consumption had a negative long-term impact on okra yield. Our study concludes that climate change, particularly rising temperature, impacts herbaceous fruit crop production in Nigeria. Therefore, we recommend that breeding and disseminating climate-smart tomato and okra varieties will help fruit crop farmers respond to rising temperatures.

“…The poor fertility status of soils coupled with issues of pests and diseases attacks constitute the major factors hindering optimum okra production [8]. Poor soil fertility condition was singled out as the major hindrance to okra production in Nigeria [9,10]. The cause of rapid fertility deterioration of Nigerian soils was attributed to incessant cultivation, deforestation and wrong farming methods [11].…”

“…The continuous uses of synthetic fertilizers have adverse effects on the environment [10]. This adverse effect coupled with the high cost and non-availability of inorganic fertilizers have forced peasant farmers to consider cheaper means of enhancing soil fertility for crop production [9,13]. Therefore, the need to carryout research on the response of crops to cheaper and readily available organic-based fertilizers is germane.…”

This study was carried out to examine the effect of selected fruit peels on growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus). 10g of ground fruit peels of banana, watermelon, pawpaw, pineapple, plantain, orange was applied to 7 kg of soil and left for 7 days before planting of okra seed. NPK (15:15:15) serves as positive control while groups without fertilizer served as negative control for the study. Each treatment was replicated five times in polythene bags used as pots and watered every three days. The setup was arranged in Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD). Plant height and stem girth were measured while number of leaves were also counted from 1 to 8 Week After Planting. The numbers of days to 50% flowering, pod length and pod diameter were also recorded from 1 to 8 Week After Planting. Data pooled in this study were subjected to Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and means with statistically significant difference at p<0.05 were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test. Generally, results across weeks showed statistically significant difference for plant height, number of leaves, stem girth, days to 50% flowering, number of fruit and pod length while only the diameters of fruits did not respond to different nutrient sources. Okra grown with banana and watermelon peels gave the best overall performance which indicates that they contained sufficient nutrients for optimum production of okra. This study clearly indicates that banana and watermelon fruit peels could be used singly or in combination to effectively boost yield of okra.
