This study investigates the effects of different plant growth regulators on the growth, yield, and quality of red okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) under the climatic conditions of Prayagraj at the SHUATS College Horticulture Research Farms. The experiment consisted of 10 distinct treatments, each involving a unique combination and concentration of growth regulators. The performance of these treatments was evaluated based on several parameters including plant height, fruit yield, and quality attributes. Among the treatments, Treatment 2 (NAA@60 PPM) demonstrated the lowest performance, reflected by suboptimal growth metrics, reduced yield, and inferior quality characteristics. In stark contrast, Treatment 10 (GA3@100 PPM +2,4-D @7.5 PPM) exhibited the highest performance across all measured parameters, showcasing significant improvements in growth rate, total yield, and fruit quality. These findings underscore the potential of specific plant growth regulator treatments in optimizing the cultivation of red okra, with Treatment 10 emerging as a particularly effective strategy for enhancing agricultural outcomes in this crop.
