Abstract
The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of growth regulators (ethrel and NAA) at different concentrations (100, 200 and 400 mg/l ethrel and 25, 50 and 100 mg/l NAA) and sprayed at two different stages viz., 27 and 45 days after sowing, on growth, yield, yield attributes and various physiological parameters in three okra varieties (Pusa Sawani, Gujarat Okra-1 and Padra-18-6) during kharif season of 1985. This study was performed with three main objectives. First, to increase the yield potentially of different varieties of okra and their response to different growth regulators when used as foliar spary; second, to find out the most effective growth regulators i. e. ethrel or NAA and its concentration, and third, to investigate the effect of growth regulators on various physiological parameters and other growth/yield attributes.
