Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the field laboratory of Department of Crop Botany and Tea Production Technology, Sylhet Agricultural University from May to October 2013 with a view to select the superior Okra cultivar (s). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. A total of 8 cultivars viz. BARI Dherosh-1 (control), Orka Onamika, Bankim, Durga, JO (Japanese Okra)-1, JO-2, JO-3 and JO-4 were evaluated in relation to morphological and yield attributes in acidic soil conditions. Significant variations were observed in almost all parameters. Results revealed that high yielding cultivar Bankim exhibited taller plant at final harvest, produced early flowers with maximum fruit setting (%) and fruit length. The cultivar JO-3 produced maximum number of branches and leaves at final harvest. Local check cultivar showed highest internodes number and length along with maximum number of flowers and 100 seed weight. The cultivars JO-1 and JO-4 showed highest individual fruit weight and maximum fruit
