| Abstract | ||||
| This investigation carried out in co-operation work between Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Kafr El-Sheikh and Horticulture Research Institute during the period of 2001 to 2010 through two stages. The first stage: Six strains of okra were obtained after six generations of inbreeding and selection from the local cultivars. The six selected strains and the original cultivars were evaluated during the summer season of 2006 for yield and horticultural characteristics. Evaluation results indicated that the, Strain No. 1 had the lowest values of vegetative traits and it produced the largest values of early and total yield as a number and weight of pods, therefore, this strain was chosen as a new cultivar under name of Sakha-1 after produced their seeds in isolated area in two successive years. The second stage: The new cultivar and two commercial cultivars, i.e., Balady Green and Sabahia -1 cultivars were evaluated in summer seasons of 2009 and 2010 in the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station. The new cultivar Skha-1 surpassed the Balady Green and Sabahia -1 cultivars for early and total yield as a number and weight of pods and pod quality. | ||||
