    Yield and yield attributes of bhindi as influenced by irrigation schedules and split application of nitrogen
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1988) Jayakrishna Kumar, V; Pillai, G R
    Studies conducted at the Agronomic Research Station, Chalakudy revealed that yield attributes and yield of bhindi raised in summer rice fallows were favourably influenced by frequent irrigation. Daily irrigation was found to be the best treatment. Though not significant, application of nitrogen in 2 equal splits with 50 per cent as basal and 50 per cant 30 days after sowing favourably influenced yield attributes and yield. The study also revealed that field water usa efficiency was higher in less frequently irrigated plots.

    Genetic divergence in bhindi (Abelmoschus esculentus [L.] moench
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1994) Bindhu, K K; Saraswathy, P; Manju, P
    Seventy genotypes of bhiiuli were subjected to D2 analysis based on 14 economic characters in order to classify them into group constellation. The 70 genotypes were found to fall into six clusters with 57 genotypes in cluster I, four in cluster II, three in cluster III, two in cluster IV, three in cluster V arid one in cluster VI. The distribution of the genotypes into six different clusters was not according to their places of origin showing that the genotypes forming one group were geographically diverse, while those obtained from the same region were genetically different. Cluster V showed high mean values for yield and major yield attributes indicating that it is superior to the rest of the clusters. Cluster I and IV were genetically closer while cluster II and VI were wider. Selection of parents from cluster II and VI for hybridisation is likely to give heterotic hybrids.
