An investigation to study the effect date of sowing on productivity of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cv. Gujarat Okra 2 was carried out at the five farmer's field at Panchmahals district of central Gujarat under on farm trial during 2011-12 and 2012-13. The maximum plant height (97.15 cm) at the time of first flowering, number of branches (4.10), pod length (11.55 cm), pod diameter (14.20 cm), number of pods/plant (9.25), pod weight (32.40g) and fruit yield (10.41 tonnes/ha) were recorded in T2. The minimum time (60.50 days) for flowering was recorded in T1. The maximum gross return (Rupees 116 265) and net return (Rupees 86 980) was recorded in T1 followed by T3 (Rupees 87 590, 58 390) and (Rupees 75 895, 45 778) in T2. The maximum B: C ratio (3.97) was recorded in T1 followed by T3 and T2. The B: C ratio is one of most important aspect for selection of particular crop and season by the farmers to maximize the productivity and net return. The farmers of adjoining area have realized the effect of sowing time on productivity and net return and have adopted this technology.
