FOLIAR APPLICATION OF THIOUREA IMPROVES GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF OKRA

An experiment was conducted at the horticultural farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during April-July 2019 to study the potentiality of thiourea application frequency for enhancing the okra production. The experiment conducted with four treatments, viz., No application (T_U0), once application-1000ppm (T_U1), twice application-1000ppm (T_U2) and thrice application-1000ppm (T_U3) following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data on different growth and yield attributes parameters were taken in this experiment. Among them, (T_U3) showed the highest plant height (131.5cm), maximum SPAD value (54.3) and influenced to increase the yield (25.5%) over control.In view of overall performances, thrice application of thiourea has potentiality for okra production.
