Abstract

Abstract Four cultivars of okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) were grown with densities of 22, 65, and 130 plants/square meter on polyethylene mulched beds. Within cultivars, pod number and marketable yield per unit area were not affected by plant density, but pod number and marketable yield/plant decreased with increasing density. Average pod weight with 3 of 4 cultivars was inversely related to plant density. Stalk diameter decreased with increasing density, and plant stunting occurred at the highest density.
