ABSTRACT
An investigation was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, U. P. in 2016 to find out effect of different doses of NPK and various bio-fertilizers on floral characters and yield attributes in okra. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design comprising thirteen treatment combinations and three replications. The treatments comprised of NPK, Azospirillum, PSB and VAM including control. Result raveled that under floral characters, 100% RDF + VAM resulted minimum days to 1st (39.60) and 50% flowering (42.20) and for yield attributes minimum days to 1st edible fruit harvesting (46.60) was recorded under 100% RDF + VAM and 100% RDF + PSB recorded for maximum fruit length (11.56 cm) whereas, maximum fruit diameter (1.92 cm), fresh fruit weight (14.20 g), number of fruits/plant (18.80), fruit yield/plant (266.96 g) and maximum fruit yield/hectare (131.83 q) was recorded under 100% RDF + Azospirillum.
Key words: Azospirillum, Randomized block design, NPK, Okra, PSB and VAM.
