红秋葵荚果采收长度对品质的影响

Effects of harvesting length on fruit quality of okras

采用春植、秋植田间试验，对采收荚果按长度分级，探讨了8种荚果长度对红秋葵荚果品质的影响。结果表明。荚果长度在8～12cm时，其荚果中可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白均较高，维生素C含量较嫩果略低．纤维素含量随荚果的增长而增加。秋植红秋葵其荚果品质各指标均优于春植，但应尽快采收。

Through using field experiment in autumn and spring planting, grading fruits by length, the effects of 8 kinds of harvesting lengths on fruit quality of okras were studied. The results showed that the content of soluble sugar and soluble protein was higher in Hibiscus coccineus （Medicus） Walt fruit at 8-12 cm length, but the content of vitamin C was lower. The cellulose content increased with the harvesting length. Fruit quality of okras in autumn planting was better than in spring planting. But fruits should be harvested as soon as possible.
