 ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted for evaluation of seed vigour in five genotypes of okra and assessment in relation to field emergence in year 2011-2012, in the Department of Seed Science & Technology, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology Kanpur. On the basis of performance of five genotypes namely KS-442, 7019, AB-1, 7219 and AB-2 in various vigour tests, genotype 7019 exhibited highest vigour and followed by AB-1, KS-442, AB-2 and 7219. All vigour tests i.e. first count, standard germination, root length, shoot length, seedling length, dry weight of seedlings, vigour index-I (germination x seedling length), vigour index-II (germination x dry weight of seedlings), brick gravel test, electrical conductivity of leachate may be used to predict the field emergence of okra genotypes.

Keywords: Seed vigour, Germination and Vigour tests, Field emergence, Okra.
