Abstract:
A pot experiment was conducted at the net house of Agro-Environmental Chemistry
Laboratory of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka-1207, during the period from March 2019 - October 2019 to find
out the effects of salicylic acid on growth, yield and nutrients content of okra
-1
and Factor- 2. Rate of salicylic
acid: 0 mM, 0.75 mM and 1.5 mM. BARI Dherosh-2 was used as the test crop. Data
were taken onplant height, number of branches and leaves plant

, length of leaves,
number of flowers plant

, number of fruits plant
-1
, individual fruit weight as well as
fruit yield plant
-1
, fresh weight of shoot and dry weight of shoot, N, P and K content
in fruit, shoot and root. When single effect was considered, salinity adversely affected
most of the growth and yield parameters and nutrient content, but application of
salicylic acid elevated all the mentioned parameters except plant height. When
combined effect was considered, maximum plant height
