Abstract: The effect of different amounts of irrigation on vegetative growth and fruit yield of okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus Moench) was determined in field experiments. Irrigation increased vegetative growth and fruit yield in okra in comparison to an unirrigated control. Similar increases in vegetative growth were produced at all irrigation amounts, ranging from 40% to 100% of pan evaporation (E pan ), but fruit yield differed with the amount of irrigation. Irrigation equal to 60% E pan produced maximum fruit yield, and significant decreases in yield were noted with an increase or decrease in the amount of irrigation.
