 ABSTRACT

A study was done to find out the effect of Organic manures on growth and seed yield of Okra cv Gujarat Okra-2 during kharif season of the year 2010 and 2011 at the Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The experiment was laid out Randomized Block design (Factorial) with eighteen treatment combination and three replications. The results revealed that an application of organic manure i.e vermin compost 5 t/ha recorded significantly the highest plant height at 30 and 60 DAS, number of leaves plant-1 at 60 and 90 DAS and total dry weight at 30, 60 and 90 DAS and seed yield. An Application of 100 kg N ha-1 recorded significantly higher plant height at 30 and 60 DAS, number of leaves plant-1 at 30 and 60 DAS and total dry weight at 60 DAS, while same treatment recorded significantly the highest number of leaves plant-1 at 90 DAS and total dry weight at 30 DAS. Application of 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 to okra crop showed significantly the highest plant height at 90 DAS and total dry weight at 30 and 60 DAS and significantly higher plant height, number of leaves plant-1 at 30 DAS and total dry weight at 90 DAS. Application of vermin compost 5 t/ha with 100 kg nitrogen ha-1 and 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded significantly the highest okra seed yield.

Key words: Abelmoschus esculentus, vermin compost, FYM, Phosphorus, Nitrogen.
