Abstract
Growth and fruiting pattern of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cv . Clemson Spineless as affected by the growth regulators Alar ( N -dimethylaminosuccinamic acid) and ethephon (2-chloroethyl phosphoric acid) were evaluated in field studies. Eight treatments consisting of Alar at 600, 1200, 2400, and 3600 μl·liter -1 and ethephon at 200, 400, 600, and 800 μl·liter -1 and water control were applied as foliar sprays at the three- to four-true-leaf stage. Both growth regulators depressed shoot growth and leaf production. Ethephon reduced shoot length. Total fruit yield was not significantly affected by the treatments. However, ethephon-treated plants tended to produce fewer fruits and lagged behind Alar-treated plants and the control plants in Fruit production during the early harvests.
