Description |
A field and laboratory experiment was conducted during rabi season 2004 at Main Agricultural Research Station and Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the effect of seed treatment and foliar spray with insecticides and neem products on crop growth, seed yield and quality in okra. The results revealed that, seed treatment with imidacloprid (12 ml/kg) recorded lower incidence of leaf hoppers, in turn resulted in significantly higher plant height (62.22 cm), number of leaves (23.61), number of fruits (6.66/plant), fruit length (14.85 cm), dry fruit weight (7.95 g) and seed yield (642.69 kg/ha). Among the foliar sprays, spray with imidacloprid (0.25 ml/lt) resulted in lower incidence of leaf hoppers, higher plant height (60.78 cm) and number of leaves (22.91). However, foliar spray with fenvalerate (0.5 ml/lt) recorded significantly higher number of fruits (6.68/plant), dry fruit weight (7.04 g), lower per cent fruit damage (52.74), seed damage (17.98%), higher hundred seed weight (4.55 g) and seed yield (799.23 kg/ha). Further, it also recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters viz., germination percentage (85.79), shoot length (26.02 cm), root length (10.36 cm) and seedling vigour index (3121). |
