0 the small green pods from a tropical plant eaten as a vegetable or used to make foods such as soup thicker, or the plant itself --
1 a plant with long, green pods (= seed containers) that are used as a vegetable --
The dry weight, number of pods and fresh pod yield per okra branch were about 10-15 % greater in 2006 than in 2005.
This requires that a strategy for harvesting young leaves be developed while sustaining acceptable immature pod or mature seed yield in okra cultivation.
A direct promotional effect of pruning on pod yields provides a possible strategy for growing okra for both leaf and pod harvests.
Values in parentheses are the proportion of the total dry weight, number of pods and pod yield/branch of the treated okra plants.
Two weeks after tomato establishment appeared to be the best time to introduce either cowpea or okra into the cropping system.
Mechanical scarification is also difficult to carry out on very small seeds such as those of wild okra.
The okra plants were harvested 6 weeks after planting, at early flowering.
However, statistical analysis indicated that yearly seasonal variation had effect on some variables of vegetative and yield characteristics of okra.
