Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2017 at Horticulture Research Farm-II, BBAU, Lucknow, Studies on the “ Efficacy of biofertilizers and the combinations with chemical fertilizers on vegetative growth and yield of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” revealed that vegetative attribute Plant height (136.00 cm),Number of Leaves/Plant(20.91),Diameter Stem of okra(2.32cm),Number of Days Taken To First Flowering(50.33),Number of Flower/Plant(20.33),Number Of Days Taken To First Fruit Formation(50.33), Number of Branches/plant(5.33). Yield attribute Number Of Fruit/ Branch(10.76), Number Of Fruit/plant(23.90), Length Of Fruit (8.46cm),Girth Of Fruit(1.51 cm),Weight Of Fruit (9.59g), Fruit Yield/plant(144.02g), Fruit Yield/plot(2.32kg) and were maximized Fruit Yield/ha(116.38 q/ha).When we use with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), NPK (50%), PSB (50%), Azotobacter (50%) and Azospirillum (75%).
