Response of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) to Growth Regulators and Organic Manures

چکیده
A study was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during April to September, 2012 to determine the suitability of selected plant growth regulators and the proper use and effectiveness of selected organic manures and also their suitable combinations for successful okra production. The experiment consisted of two factors: factor A: growth regulators as G0: control (water), G1: GA3 (100 ppm) and G2: Miraculan (1000 ppm) and factor B: organic manures as OM0: control (no manure), OM1: vermicompost (9 t/ha) and OM2: poultry manure (11.5 t/ha). The combined use of GA3 and poultry manure produced the tallest plants. Both the growth regulators and organic manures enhanced early flowering. In case of growth hormone, the highest yield (16.67 t/ha) was recorded from G1 followed by G2 (16.49 t/ha). The highest yield (18.03 t/ha) was found from OM2, closely followed by OM1 (17.59 t/h). Considering the treatment combinations, the highest yield was harvested from G1OM2 (19.62 t/ha), followed by G1OM1 (19.01 t/h), G2OM1 (18.42 t/h) and G2OM2 (18.30 t/h), respectively.

Response of lateral placement depths of subsurface drip irrigation on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)
Subsurface drip irrigation is defined as application of water below the soil surface through emitters, with discharge rates generally in the same range as surface drip irrigation. It has many advantages over surface drip. To see the response of subsurface drip irrigation on okra yield, a study was conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India during 2003 and 2004. Okra (...
متن کاملSpectroscopic and Thermooxidative Analysis of Organic Okra Oil and Seeds from Abelmoschus esculentus
With changes in human consumption from animal fats to vegetable oils, the search for seed types, often from unconventional vegetable sources has grown. Research on the chemical composition of both seed and oil for Brazilian Okra in South America is still incipient. In this study, flour and oil from organic Okra seeds (Abelmoschus esculentus L Moench), grown in northeastern Brazil were analyzed....
متن کاملInfluence of cover crops and soil amendments on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) production and soil nematodes
A pot experiment to determine the effects of summer cover crops and soil amendments on okra yields and population densities of various soil nematode taxa was conducted in two consecutive growing seasons in a subtropical region. Two cover crops, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) and sorghum sudangrass (Sorghum bicolorrS. bicolor var. sudanense), were grown and returned to the soil with fallow as a c...
متن کاملFlow Cytometric Analysis of Nuclear Dna between Okra Landraces (abelmoschus Esculentus L.)
Okra Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench), is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical as well as Mediterranean countries. The genome size of the Abelmoschus genus species is still rare. Ploidy determinations have traditionally been done by counting chromosomes of stained root tips, but this method is laborious and often difficult with species which have small c...

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...
