Effect of Water Stress at Different Growth Stages On the Yield and Yield Components of Different Varieties of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L)
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Yield and Yield Component Analysis
Abstract
This study was carried out at the College of education Akwanga, Nasarawa State, between January and April 2025 to investigate the effect of water stress at different growth stages on the yield and yield components of different varieties of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moech). The varieties used were Jambalay and Zarah. . The water stress treatments consisted of withdrawal of water for one week that is at: seedlings stage, vegetative stage, flowering stage and fruit formation stage. To determine the number of days for seeds to germinate, number of leaves before water stress, number of leaves per plant at weekly intervals, number of days to first flower bud appearance, number of flowers per plant, number of days to first fruit set.
Keywords
Water stress, yield and yield components.
