چکیده
Abstract Field experiments were carried out in 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons at Landmark University Teaching Research farm, Omu-Aran Kwara state, Nigeria, to determine the effect of soil applied Zn-fertilizer, Tithonia diversifolia (Ti), Chromolaena odorata (Ch) poultry manure (PM) on performance, yield, minerals vitamins composition okra fruits. Treatments combined tested as follows:—Control (T 1 ), Control + 10 kg ha −1 Zn 2 5 t Ti PM 3 Ch 4 0 6 7 8 9 11 ). The experiment was laid a randomized complete block design with four repetitions. Vegetative, yield quality parameters taken. Data subjected analysis variance means compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) p ≤ 0.05. Variations observed vegetative parameters, vitamin among amendments. application green biomass, manure, Zn-fertilizer improved all variables when they singly. Application some selected plots significantly increased Zn, Mg concentration okra. ) but use resulted optimum same time increase results this study therefore showed that (Ti) biomass contained released more nutrients than equal rate fertilizer manure.

DNA based RAPD (Randomly Amplification of Polymorphic DNA) markers have been used extensively to study genetic relationships in number of crop plants. In this study, 44 okra genotypes collected from different parts of India, were selected to assess genetic distinctiveness and relatedness. Total genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to RAPD analysis using 14 arbitrary 10 mer primers. The molec...
