Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: To know the effect of growth regulators and micronutrient on seed production of okra a two year field experiment was conducted in vegetable research farm, college of horticulture and forestry, Pasighat during 2018 and 2019. Two growth regulators (NAA and GA3) and micronutrients (Zn and B) were used at different concentration individually and also in combinations. Pooled data of two year experiment showed that the highest green fruit yield (1007.33 kg ha-1) and seed yield (18.84 q ha-1) were reported in the treatment P4M5 (GA3- 100 ppm + borax- 1.0%). In case of economics of cultivation similar treatment recorded the highest net income (Rs.297631.43 ha-1) and B:C Ratio (3.34). All the observation parameters recorded significantly lowest value under control treatments.
