The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Completed Block Design (RCBD), replicated four times. The results show that three were significant differences in growth characteristics and yield of the varieties. There were significant yield depression tha -1 by 21.8%, 21.9%, 49.8% and 63.4%, when Kwanab bokodo was compared with Kwanab magwandara, Kwanab kwete and Lady’s finger (control), on fresh weight basis. However on dry weight basis, reverse was the case with lady’s finger significantly out-weighing (Kwanab magwandara by 14.50%, 25.4%, Kwanab bokodo by 34.7% and Kwanab kwete by 56.9%). There were also significant variations in the length of pods/plant (cm), leave area per plant (cm 2 ), number of leaves per plant and number of branches per plant. This implies that lady’s finger with higher pod dry matter yield there has higher productivity and contains more nutritional components than others.

The genus comprises 11 species in the study area contrary to the earlier report of 8 species. Out of which, one species each belongs to herbs (F. assamica) and straggling shrubs (F. hetero- phylla) and the remaining species to shrub to big free standing trees (F. benghalensis, F. hispida, F. palmata subsp. virgata, F. racemosa, F. religiosa, F. retusa var. nitida, F. rumphii, F. semicordata and F. squamosa). F. microcarpa and F. carica have been excluded as they do not occur in the sanctuary but reported in the previous work due to mis- identification. F. repens has been segregated from F. heterophylla and reinstated as a distinct species with a correct name F. assamica. F. retusa var. nitida forms a new record for the sanctuary. In overall gross morphology, F. hispida, F. palmata subsp. virgata, F. assamica and F. heterophylla exhibit maximum diversity especially in their leaves, pe- duncles and figs. Among all species F. hispida has been found more common especially in low land and moist areas in mixed forest whereas F. retusa var. nitida has been seen with only two plants. All species have been critically examined and provided with correct nomenclature, vernacular name, description, phenology, ecology, uses and reference to voucher specimens. A dichotomous bracketed key to the species along with line drawings has also been included for identification.","PeriodicalId":381059,"journal":{"name":"Botany eJournal","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121462360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
