THE EFFECT OF OKRA STALK SUPPORT ON YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF TWO VARIETIES OF COWPEA |
| Authors: | G.F. Wilson, P.N. Mehta |
| Abstract:
Okra stalk left standing in the field provided a suitable support for climbing cowpeas and produced significant yield increases of 58 and 32%. Pods per plant, pod length and seed weight were favourably affected by support. The use of okra stalk as support for climbing vegetables in small market gardens is suggested. | |
