Abstract

In order to study the effect of environmental factors in the development of powdery mildew in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] an experiment was carried out at the College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during kharif (2019-20). The correlation analysis revealed that the age of the crop was significantly, positively correlated and T max, T min and morning RH were significantly, negatively correlated with the disease severity. In addition to this by linear regression analysis, it was observed that plant age (69%), maximum temperature (62%), minimum temperature (60%) and morning relative humidity (46%) contributed in percent disease severity. Based on the proportional measures of extent of infection at different times the apparent rate of infection was found maximum during 70-84 DAS. At this time when the disease progress the average maximum temperature was 29.3℃, minimum temperature 14.9℃, morning relative humidity 87.6% and evening relative humidity 38.33%.
