Physiological and yield response of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) to irrigation scheduling and organic mulching

Irrigation scheduling, Okra, Pea-straw mulch, Physiological parameters, WUEScheduling irrigation is very critical to make the mostefficient use of water, as excessive or inadequate irrigationreduces the yield. An optimum level of irrigation intervals isessential for judicious use of water. Exposing the crop for acertain level of water stress either during a specific period orthroughout the growing season is one way of maximizingwater-use efficiency. It is expected that any reduction in yieldwill be insignificant compared to the benefits gained throughdiverting the saved water to irrigate other crops.Okra (
