| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present experiment entitled “Studies on the effect of growth retardant on seed yield and quality in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” was conducted at the Khaltoo experimental farm of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan during kharif season of 2019-20. The experiment was laid in Randomized Complete Block Design (Factorial) with one additional treatment in field having three replications each and Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with one additional treatment in the laboratory having four replications each. Various concentrations of growth retardant cycocel (50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm) were applied as foliar spray at three different stages (20, 30 and 40 days after germination) to study the effect on growth, flowering, fruiting, seed yield and quality attributes in okra cv. P-8. Among different treatments, cycocel 500 ppm sprayed at 30 days after germination was recorded significantly best for improved growth characters, fruit yield characters, seed yield characters, seed quality characters and maximum B:C ratio. Whereas, cycocel 500 ppm sprayed at 20 days after germination was observed best for earliness in flowering and maturity. Therefore, foliar application of 500 ppm cycocel sprayed at 30 days after germination can be recommended for commercial seed production of okra in Himachal Pradesh after validation for one more year over different regions. | en_US |
