Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of present research was to study the effects of different sowing dates, irrigation regimes and sowing methods on morphological and yield related characters of okra. Experimental factors were including irrigation regime at two levels of 7 days and 10 days in which placed in vertical plots, sowing date at three levels of 15 May, 31 May and 15 June, and sowing method in two levels of top of the furrow and within the furrow. Experiment was conducted in strip split plot arrangement with randomized complete block design from April to September of 2013 in Shahrood region. Obtained results showed that the main effects of all experimental factors were significant in all studied traits. The interaction effect of some traits were also significant in some studied traits. It was observed that increasing the irrigation interval from 7 days to 10 days led to decrease the average of studied traits. The effect of sowing date was also significant in all traits, so that delaying the sowing date from 15 May to 31 May, led to decrease the average of all the studied traits and this trend was continued to 15 June. The results of this study was also showed that sowing the seeds within the furrow was better than top of the furrow. In conclusion, sowing date of 15 May and irrigation interval of 7 days accompanied by seed sowing within the furrow led to achieve highest yield and yield components.
