Yield and Yield Attributes of Okra as Influenced by Planting Time and Plant Spacing in Hill Slope Condition

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari from May to November 2004 to find out the effect of planting time (1 st week of June, July, August and September) and plant spacing (60 × 30 cm, 60 × 40 cm and 60 × 50 cm) on the yield and yield components of okra in hill slope condition during rainy season. The highest yield (12.53 t/ha) was obtained by the planting in July which was at par with June (11.69 t/ha). In case of plant spacing, the highest yield (9.02 t/ha) was recorded from close spacing at 60 x 30 cm that was statistically different from other two spacing and the widest spacing of 60 x 50 cm produced the lowest yield (8.06 t/ha). The treatment combination July sowing with 60 x 30 cm plant spacing produced significantly highest yield (12.86 t/ha).

Effect of Spacings and Varieties on Yield Attributes and Fruit Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.)

“…In case of interaction, significant effects are seen on the fresh weight of fruit and it was maximum (13.84 g) recorded under treatment T 5 . The result obtained that are close confirmative to finding of Firoz et al, (2007) and Jana et al, (2010). The fresh weight of fruit are increased with increase in spacing due to widest spacing might be due to more accumulation of dry matter on fruit by the plant.…”

Influence of Plant Spacing on Insect Population, Growth and Yield of Okra in Sierra Leone

“…The highest pod yield ha -1 was recorded from plots treated with plant spacing 50 cm x 40 cm and was significantly (P < 0.05) different from all other plant spacing treatments in both 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons. The result also affirmed report [12] that the highest yield of okra was recorded from close spacing, which was statistically different from other two spacing and the widest spacing produced the lowest yield. The pod yield of matured okra ha -1 with plant spacing 60 cm x 40 cm was statistically at par with 70 cm x 30 cm plant spacing during 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons.…”

Impact of Planting Distances and Sowing Dates on Yield Attributing Traits of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] cv. Kashi Pragati

“…It showed that plant population affected the production of fruits per plant, as the maximum number of fruits was influenced by plant density. Talukader et al, (2003); Firoz et al, (2007) and Madisa et al, (2015) reported similar results in respect to spacing and dates of sowing. During both the years 2015 and 2016 at both the locations, S 2 spacing (60 × 60 cm) recorded maximum average fruit weight among all the treatments; while in case of sowing dates D 3 (30 th June) sowing registered the maximum average fruit weight.…”

“…The higher number of plant population lowers the fruit weight of okra, while the low plant population density leads to more fruit weight. Ekwu and Nwokwu (2012) Firoz et al, (2007).…”
