| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was carried out during the summer seasons of 2015 and 2016 at Shandaweel Experimental Farm, Agriculture Research Station, Sohag Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of bio- and mineral fertilization and pickings frequency on seed production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench). The experiment was conducted using a split-plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The obtained results show that the interaction between bio-fertilizers plus 0.75 of recommended dose of NPK and first three pickings significantly increased most studied traits such as, weight of 100- seeds (g), number of dry fruits per plant, seed weight per plant (g), seed yield (kg/fed.), seed germination %, shoot length (cm), root length (cm) and germination rate (days) in the two experimental seasons. In addition, the highest values of number of seeds per dry fruit were obtained from the interaction between recommended dose of NPK and first three pickings in both seasons. | ||||
