International Journal of Horticulture, 2025, Vol.15, No.2, 73-79 http://hortherbpublisher.com/index.php/ijh 78 Furthermore, results showed that average yields per plant were maximum recorded with varieties Rukmani (79.50), followed by Arka Anamika (76.25) and Arzine (69.00), and the lowest results obtained by Special-45 and Raja (52.0) with the significant level (p<0.01) and grand mean of 65.78 (Table 7). This finding of conformity is shown by Singh et al. (2022), where Mehata et al. (2022) found Punjab selection with the maximum average yield per plant (s200.42). This could be a result of the field's higher level of soil organic matter content or the variation in okra's genotype. Since all of these varieties are assessed under the same soil, management, and agroclimatic conditions, variations in yield and yield characteristics among them may be understood as varietal differences resulting from genetic variables and their interaction with environmental circumstances.

On average, the overall yield is expected to reach 65.75 g for a plant in our field experiment. Production greatly varies with pod length, diameter, pod number, and the number of primary branches in all five varieties, i.e. Arka Anamika, Rukamani, Raja F1, Special-45, and Arzine. Among the five varieties, the Rukmani variety shows a higher yield followed by the Arka Anamika. Therefore, through our experimental findings, I recommended Rukmani And Arka Anamika as a suitable variety to the farmers for effective yield and productivity in the Pyuthan district. Commercial farmers of the Pyuthan district must select location-specific high-performing varieties which include Arka Anamika and Rukmani for high yielding from nearer their agrovet. The study is limited due to the changing weather and climatic conditions of Pyuthan. The findings may not represent the large area due to the lack of time to conduct research and limited access to leveled land which found difficulty in maintaining homogenous field conditions. A single field trial may not be enough to provide the conclusion. Thus to get valid results several varietal trials in different locations must be conducted with diverse climatic conditions.
