Effect Of The Exclusion Of Insect Pollinators On The Reproductive Performance Of Okra Abelmoschus Esculenta (L) Moench
ABSTRACT
The reduction in pollination set-vices has led to reduction
in crop yields of which okra is no exception. This study investigated the effect
of exclusion of' insect pollinators on the reproductive performance of okra (Abelmoschus
esculentus). The experimental design used was the randomized complete block
design (RCBD) involving two treatments with three replications. The parameters
studied wet-c the weight of pod, number of aborted flowers per plant, length of
pod and number of seeds per pod. The results indicated no difference in the
number of flowers per plant and number of aborted flowers per plant hut differences
were shown in the number of pods harvested per plant, yield pet- plant and
number of seeds per pod. The study indicated that insect pollination helps to
improve the yield in okra. It was therefore recommended that trees visited by
this insect that helps in pollination activities should he planted around.
