The On Farm Testing (OFT) on “Evaluation of different spacing in okra during Rabi season in the Dangs” was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Navsari Agricultural University, Waghai on farmers field in three villages namely Ambapada, Davdahad and Khatal of Waghai taluka during the years 2013-14 to 2015-16 comprising of three different spacings tratments viz., T1 = 30 x 10 cm (Farmers practices), T2 = 45 x 30 cm (Normal spacing) and T3 = 30 x 30 x 60 cm (Paired row spacing). The results revealed that the okra crop sown at paired row spacing of 30 x 30 x 60 cm for resulted in higher yield of 9768 kg/ha as well as net returns of Rs. 1,04,190/ha as compared to 9572 kg/ha yield & Rs. 1,01,250/ha net income under normal spacing of 45 x 30 cm and farmer's practices of 30 x 10 cm recorded the least values for both the parameters (8513 kg/ha and Rs. 79,365/ha, respectively). So, on the basis of OFT results, it is recommended to grow okra crop at a spacing of 30 x 30 x 60 cm for obtaining higher yield & net returns.
