Effect of n-mythelene phosponic chitosan 1.75 per cent solution on growth and yield of okra

A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Repoli Tal. Mangaon, Dist. Raigad to study the effect of N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan (1.75 per cent) on growth and yield of okra during summer 2018. The field experiment was laid out in randomised block design with 7 treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted T₁-N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 (250 ml ha⁻¹), T₂-N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 (500 ml ha⁻¹), T₃-N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 (750 ml ha⁻¹), T₄-N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 (1000 ml ha⁻¹), T₅-N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 (1250 ml ha⁻¹), T₆-University standard (100: 50: 25 NPK Kg/ha⁻¹) and T₇ >Untreated (Control). Application of N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 1250 ml ha⁻¹ (T₅) recorded significantly more number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant (gm) and fruit yield (kg per ha) as compared to rest of the treatments, except application of N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 1000 ml ha⁻¹ and N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 750 ml ha⁻¹. Application of N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 1000 ml ha⁻¹ and N-Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 750 ml ha⁻¹ was at par with the application of N Mythelene Phosponic Chitosan 1.75 at 1250 ml ha⁻¹.
