Abstract

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L) Moench) is one of the important vegetable crops of Haryana grown for its tender green fruits during spring-summer and rainy season. The technology for seed production of okra varies with cultivar and agro-climatic conditions. The influence of season on growth and production of okra has been studied by Bisaria and Shamshery (1979). Increased vigour and high productivity were observed when the crop was grown in rainy season than summer season. However, the incidence of insect-pests and diseases is very high during rainy season, which significantly affects the quantity and quality of seeds. There is need to study the influence of sowing time on yield and quality of seed. Therefore, the present investigation was, undertaken to ascertain suitable time of sowing for seed production of newly developed okra variety Hisar Naveen.
