Impact of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, R.A.K. College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.) during kharif season of 2019 to study about the “integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of okra[Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” were laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments combination were replicated in each three blocks. The result revealed that the treatment T8 significantly found best among the all treatments at all growth traits in almost all the characters i.e. plant height (cm) (83.01), number of leaves per plant(33.26), leaf area (cm2) (2632.9), and yield traits; days to first flower initiation (35.33), days to taken first picking (46.66), fruit number per plant (18.77), fruit girth (mm) (17.01), fruit yield per plot (kg) (4.222) while the treatment T1 (control) showed minimum response in term of growth and yield of okra.
