Abstract
Field experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm of the Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India during the year 2016-1017. A single standard variety (Kashi Pragati) released from IIVR Varanasi, is sown with the different treatment combinations. A total of 16 treatments:- T1 (control), T2 (FYM), T3 (Vermicompost), T4 (Neemcake), T5 (50% RDF+FYM), T6 (50%RDF+Vermicompost) T7 (50%RDF+Neemcake), T8 (75%RDF+FYM), T9 (75%RDF+Vermicompost), T10 (75%RDF+Neemcake), T11 (50%RDF+Azotobacter), T12 (50%RDF+PSB), T13 (50%RDF+VAM), T14 (75%RDF+Azotobacter),T15 (75%RDF+PSB), and T16 (5%RDF+VAM), with three replicates of each were Performed with respect to yield and yield Attributing characters were observed T6 (50%RDF+ Vermicompost) performed better followed by T15 while the lowest performance was recorded in T1. On the basis of overall performance under the present investigation, it may be concluded that the application of T6 (50%RDF+Vermicompost) in kashi pragati increased the growth, yield and nutritional quality of okra under study area.
