Crop Physiology Division, Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, BAU Campus, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Experiment was carried out to determine the optimum plant spacing for getting maximum fruit of okra cv., BARI dherosh-1 under Rangpur condition. Three spacings viz., 45 cm x 30 cm, 45 cm x 45 cm, 60 cm x 45 cm were used The higher fruit yield/plant was recorded in the spacing of 45 cm x 45 cm and 60 cm x 45 cm but the highest fruit yield/m² was recorded in the closest spacing of 45 cm x 30 cm and the lowest was recorded in the widest spacing of 60 cm x 45 cm. Germination percentage of seeds did not influenced by plant spacing.

Keywords: Okra, Spacing, Yield

Location: Experimental farm, BINA, Rangpur

Start Date: 16-02-2000

End Date: 31-08-2000

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Okra

Objectives:

To find out suitable plant spacing for getting maximum of okra cv. BARI dherosh-1 at Rangpur district

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at Research Station of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Rangpur, Bangladesh, during February to August 2000. The cultivar, BARI dherosh-1 was used as test crop. The experiment was laid out RCB design with 3 replicates. The unit plot size was 4 m x 2 m and three spacings viz., 45 cm x 30 cm, 45 cm x 45cm, 60 cm x 45 cm. Recommended manures and fertilizers were applied. Intercultural operations like irrigation, weeding, mulching and pest control were followed as and when necessary for normal plant growth and development. Ten plants were selected randomly from each plot for recording data. The collected data were analyzed statistically.
