ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, MJRP College of Agriculture and Research Achrol, Jaipur, During Zaid Season, 2015. The eight treatment consisting of three levels of GA3 (10, 20, 30 ppm), three levels of naphthalene acetic acid (10, 20, 30 ppm), were tested in randomized block design with three replications. Results showed that spray of naphthalene acetic acid, gibberellic acid significantly influenced the performance of growth attributes viz., plant height, fruit length, fruit diameter, number of fruits per plant, average weight of fruits per plant, yield per plot as well as per hectare. The best treatment for growth parameter and yield attributes was found at 20-ppm naphthalene acetic acid (T6) 40 days after sowing. The maximum net profit of Rs. 152344.3 per hectare was obtained when the crop was treated with 20-ppm naphthalene acetic acid with benefit: cost ratio 2.68:1
Keywords: Okra, GA3 NAA, fruit set and fruit yield
