Abstract:
The experiment was conducted into two parts. One was the field to assess the
green pods (vegetable) and seed yield, and the other part was laboratory
experiment for evaluating of seed quality after priming. The Research Field of
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the
period from February-June 2015 to find out the effect of seed priming on
yield(green pod)) and seed yield of different okra varieties. The experiment
consisted of two factors: Factor A: Three varieties of okra. V

solution. Seeds were primed at
the period of 24 hours. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete
Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data on different growth and
yield contributing characters, and yield were recorded to find out the suitable
variety and level of seed priming of okra. The maximum seed yield (0.633 t

(18.78 t ha

(Hybrid green
