Application of organic manures and their influence on okra growth parameters

Abstract

A study was conducted at Organic Farming Research Centre of SKUAST -Jammu to find out the impact of organic manures on okra growth parameters. Maximum and minimum value identified was 12.23 g and 11.05 g in T8 and T1 in per fruit weight, 239.17 g and 186.42 g in T8 and T1 in fruit weight per plant, 146.32 q ha-1 and 111.03 q ha-1 in T8 and T1 in crop yield, 40.66 and 33.33 in T8 and T1 in seeds per fruit, 26.32 q ha-1 and 24.58 q ha-1 in T8 and T1 in total seed yield, 789.36 g and 562.50 g in T8 and T1 in seed yield per plant, 31.53 cm3 and 21.75 cm3 in T8 and T1 in root volume, 15.69 cm and 13.53 cm in T8 and T1 in root length, 40.00 cm and 29.23 cm in T8 and T1 in plant height (25 DAS), 80.14 cm and 76.12 cm in T8 and T1 in plant height (50 DAS), 119.43 cm and 99.03 cm in T8 and T1 (75 DAS), 19.66 and 16.66 in T8 and T1 in no. of fruits per plant, 12.71 cm and 10.66 cm in T8 and T1 in fruit length of okra.
