    Seed production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) cv. Hisar unnat; sowing time and plant density
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Sharma, Vikas
    The present investigation on “Seed production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L) Moench) cv. Hisar Unnat: Sowing time and plant density” were carried out at the Vegetable Research Farm and Seed Technology Centre, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during rainy season in the year 2007 with a view to study the effect of sowing time and plant spacing on seed yield and quality of seed. Hisar Unnat, a variety developed from CCS Haryana Agricultural University, tolerant to yellow vein mosaic virus was sown from second week of June to last week of July at fourteen days interval under four plant spacing viz., 4520 cm, 4530 cm, 6020 cm and 6030 cm. Plant height, number of flowers per plant, number fruits per plant, fruit set, number of seeds per fruit, seed yield (q/ha), test weight and seed vigour were recorded maximum in second week of June sown crop with 6030 cm plant spacing Thus, for getting higher seed yield and quality seed of okra cv. Hisar Unnat under Hisar conditions, the crop should be sown during second week of June at a spacing of 6030 cm.
