Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in the College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur during Kharif, 2018-19 to evaluate the effects of various biochemical contents on twenty okra germplasm against jassid, Amrasca biguttula biguttula. Different biochemical contents, viz. protein, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, total sugar, reducing sugar, non- reducing sugar, Ash and fiber were studied and correlation is established between morphological parameter and leaf hopper (Amrasca biguttula biguttula) population. It was observed that the correlation coefficient of population of jassid indicated positive and significant correlation with protein content (r = 0.450), total sugar (r = 0.689), reducing sugar (r =0.742), non-reducing sugar (r = 0.632). The germplasm 2018/OKHYVRES-2 had maximum jassid population (10.70) and the germplasm recorded had maximum protein content (23.67%), total sugar (6.40%), reducing sugar (0.868%) and non reducing sugar (5.53%) whereas, germplasm 2018/OKYVRES-1 had minimum jassid population (6.19) and the germplasm recorded had minimum protein content (14.55%), total sugar (2.16%), reducing sugar (0.240%) and non reducing sugar (1.79%).
