Abstract:The present investigation on “Response of plant growth regulators and micronutrients on growth and yield of okra (
Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)” was undertaken at the experimental field, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, V.N.M.K.V, Parbhani, during
Summer 2021. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications by using cultivar Parbhani Kranti. It comprised 13 treatments T
1 (GA
3 100 ppm at 45 DAS), T
2 (NAA 100 ppm at 45 DAS), T
3 (GA
3 100 ppm at 30 DAS), T
4 (NAA 100 ppm + CCC 750 ppm at 45 DAS), T
5 (GA
3 100 ppm + M
1 100 ppm (micronutrient mixtures) at 30 DAS, T
6 (NAA 100 ppm + M
1 100 ppm (micronutrient mixtures) at 30 DAS, T
7 (GA
3 100 ppm + M
2 100 ppm (micronutrient mixtures) at 45 DAS, T
8 (NAA 100 ppm + M
2 100 ppm (micronutrient mixtures) at 45 DAS, T
9 (GA
3 100 ppm at 30 DAS + M
2 100 ppm at 45 DAS), T
10 (NAA 100 ppm at 30 DAS + CCC 750 ppm + M
2 100 ppm at 45 DAS), T
11 (NAA 100 ppm at + CCC 750 ppm + M
1 100 ppm at 30 DAS), T
12 (NAA 100 ppm + CCC 750 ppm + M
2 100 ppm at 30 and 45 DAS), T
13 (control). The periodical observations on growth and yield parameters were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis.
However, among the various treatment combinations, overall performance of treatment T3 (GA3 100 ppm at 30 DAS) was superior over all other treatment.
