Abstract
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.,
4520 cm, 4530 cm, 6020 cm and 6030 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 6030 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 6030 cm.
