The present investigation effect of growth regulators on growth and yield of okra was carried out at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Navsari Agricultural University, Surat (Gujarat) during Kharif-2022 and 2023. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design in Factorial concept with three replications. Significantly maximum number of branches per plant (4.06), plant height (28.54, 34.78, 50.83, 59.16 and 66.75 cm at 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 DAS, respectively), leaf area per plant (965.03 cm²), number of nodes per plant (15.04), number of leaves per plant (9.92, 30.23, 33.47, 39.88 and 46.27 at 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 DAS, respectively), maximum number of pods per plant (16.66), yield per plant (201.56 g) and pod weight (12.10 g) were obtained with the treatment G₄-GA₃ @ 200 ppm at 25 and 45 days after sowing in growth characters. Whereas, days to first flowering and days to 50% flowering were noted non-significant.
