Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research farm, Kalyanpur and Seed Testing Laboratory of Department of Seed Science & Technology, CSAUA&T, Kanpur by using Factorial Randomized Block Design and Factorial Complete Randomized Design respectively with three replications. The okra variety, Arka Anamika was tested with 12 treatment combinations (consisted of two fruit retention loads, R₁ and R₂ as factor – I and six fruit positions, P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅ and P6 as factor – II). It is concluded that treatment combination, R1P1(Retention of fruits borne on 1-3 nodes for seed purpose and harvesting remaining fruits for vegetable purpose) was found to be superior for most of the yield contributing traits, green fruit yield and seed quality parameters whereas, R1P6(Retention of all fruits for seed purpose) was found to be superior for seed yield.
