ABSTRACT
Experiment was conducted at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat), India by adopting large plot technique design with six treatment combinations comprised of plastic mulch as a first factor with three levels viz., silver black plastic mulch, black plastic mulch and no mulch (control) with environmental condition as a second factor with two levels viz., net-cum-polyhouse and open field (control). The response of okra was evaluated in terms of yield parameters i.e. total number of pods per treatments and economics. The treatment M1T1 i.e. Silver black plastic mulch + net-cum-polyhouse was found significantly superior as compared to the other treatment combinations. The highest yield was obtained in silver black plastic mulch in net-cum-polyhouse (3.92 t/ha) and lowest yield was obtained in no mulch in open field (1.09 t/ha) while net-cum-polyhouse produced significantly better yield as compared to open field condition in all the treatments. The highest benefit: cost ratio (B:C ratio) was found for silver black plastic mulch in net-cum-polyhouse (2.75) followed by black mulch (2.45) and no-mulch in net-cum-polyhouse (2.16) annually. In case of open field okra cultivation the highest B:C ratio was found for silver black plastic mulch (2.50) followed by black mulch (1.92) and no-mulch (0.73) annually. Hence silver black plastic mulch in net-cum-polyhouse significantly proved to be the best treatment for winter okra cultivation considering yield parameters i.e. total number of pods and cost economics.
