Author(s): BN Hindalekar, PC Haldavanekar and SV Bhavar

Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Comparative performance of F1 hybrids under different growing conditions on vegetative growth parameters of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)” was carried during summer season of 2014-2015, at Department of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli (M.S.), with an objective “To study the vegetative growth of F1 hybrids of okra under different growing conditions in Konkan region”. The highest plant height (2.00 m), number of nodes (22.36), leaf area (221.97 cm2) and lowest days to seed germination (6.13), days to initiation of first flower (42.87), days to first fruit harvest (45.88) were observed in GC1. However, the highest girth at collar region (51.12 mm) and lowest internodal length (7.62 cm) was recorded in GC3. The lowest nodal position of first flower (3.99) was observed in GC2. With regard to variation in F1 hybrids, significantly the highest plant height at last harvest (1.66 m), lowest days to initiation of first flower (44.67), highest number of nodes (21.79) in V1. While, lowest internodal length (7.71) reported in V5. Number of nodes was significantly highest (21.79) and lowest days to seed germination in V1. The highest leaf area (214.16 cm2) was recorded in V3. The hybrid V3 showed the lowest days for first harvest (48.46) while, the effect of interaction between growing conditions and F1 hybrids were recorded the highest number of nodes (24.33) in GC1V1 and GC1V2. Treatment combination GC1V3 produced the highest leaf area (245.86 cm2) while, GC1V5 took the lowest days to appearance of first flower (42.67). Growing condition GC3 shows, the highest fruit yield per plant (0.25 Kg), fruit yield per m2 (1.88 Kg) and yield per hectare (15.37 t). The highest fruit yield per plant (0.20 Kg), fruit yield per m2 (1.51 Kg) and yield per hectare (9.60 t) were noticed in V3. Among the interaction effects, the treatment combination GC3V3 produced the highest fruit yield per plant (0.28 Kg), fruit yield per m2 (2.08 Kg) and fruit yield per hectare (16.47 t).
