摘要
Differences in the age at which okra pods were harvested (4, 7, 10 or 13 days after pod set) had no effect on vegetative growth or pod yield, but pods harvested more than seven days after pod set were of poorer quality. The reduction in pod quality arose mainly from an increase in crude fibre and a reduction in the moisture, crude protein and ash content of older pods.
