Abstract:
The article presents the results of bioecological characteristics and phenological features of some
varieties of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench in Vinnytsia region: two varieties of Ukrainian origin
- ‘Sopilka’ and ‘Alabama red’, as well as a variety of okra of Turkish origin - ‘Sultani’. Germination
energy and seed germination were studied. The results of phenological observations are obtained:
calendar terms of the beginning of phenological phases, duration of phases and interphase periods
of selected varieties. It was found that the earliest passage of phenological phases is the variety
Abelmoschus esculentus of Turkish origin - ‘Sultani’. For this variety, the duration of the interphase periods (for 2018-2019) was: «sowing-germination» - 20 days, «germination-flowering» - 54 days, «flowering-beginning of fruiting» - 4 days. According to the results of 2020, the interphase periods for the variety ‘Sultani’ were longer by an average of 3-4 days.
