Effect of Different Levels of Nitrogen and Spacing on Fruiting Attributes, Yield and Nitrogen Content of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.] Singh J.P., Katiyar P.N., Singh P.C. Department of Horticulture, C.S.A. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur-208 002 Abstract The investigations were carried out with an objective to asses the effect of nitrogen and plant spacing on the yield attributes, yield and nitrogen content of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.] at the Department of Horticulture, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur during spring of 1995. The experiment comprised four levels of nitrogen (0,60,90 and 120 kg ha−1) and three levels of plant spacing (40×20, 40×30 and 40×40 cm) in randomized block design with three replications. Application of 120 kg nitrogen ha−1 caused to produce highest length, diameter, number of fruits, fresh weight of fruit, yield ha−1 and nitrogen content in pods. Low plant density (40×40 cm) promoted all the above fruiting attributes and nitrogen content in pods significantly as compared to high plant density barring the yield ha−1, however, it was recorded highest (118.46 q) under 40×30 cm spacing.
