ABSTRACT
The present experiment was carried out during February to June 2018 in the research field, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with thirteen treatments, replicated thrice. The treatments were T1 (Control (100% RDF), T2 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost), T3 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azotobactor), T4 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + PSB), T5 (75% RDF + 25% Poultry manure), T6 (75% RDF + 25% Poultry manure + Azotobactor), T7 (75% RDF + 25% Poultry manure + PSB), T8 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost), T9 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + Azotobactor ), T10 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + PSB ), T11 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure ), T12 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure + Azotobactor), T13 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure + PSB). From the present experimental findings it is found that the T12 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure + Azotobactor) was found superior over other treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality of Okra. The highest cost benefit ratio (1:2.85) was also obtained in T12 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure + Azotobactor).
Key words :
Azotobactor, Growth & yield attributes, Okra, Poultry manure, PSB, Quality parameters, Vermicompost.
