Abstract

An experiment was conducted during rainy season to evaluate the effect of sowing time and plant spacing on the seed production of okra. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications having four sowing times viz., 2nd week of June, 4th week of June, 2nd week of July and 4th week of July as main plot treatment and four spacing viz., 45 x 20 cm, 45 x 30 cm, 60 x 20 cm and 60 x 30 cm, were taken as sub-plot treatments. Thus, making a total of sixteen treatment combinations and parameters observed were plant height (cm) days to 50 per cent flowering, fruit set (%), number of fruit/plant, seed yield/ha, test weight (g), seed germination (%), and seed vigour Index 1. Thus, it was found that values for test weight, seed germination, seedling length and vigour index were more in 2nd week of June sown crop as compared to other sowing dates.
