Abstract:
An investigation was carried out on “Effect of liquid organic substances, spray frequency and levels of fertilizer on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)” at College Farm, College of Horticulture, S. D. Agricultural University, Jagudan, Gujarat, India during Kharif, 2021. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with eighteen treatment combinations involving two levels of liquid organic substances i.e. o₁ (Panchagavya 3%) and o₂ (Jeevamruta 5%), three levels of spray frequency i.e. s₁ (Two spray at 20 & 40 DAS), s₂ (Three spray at 20, 40 & 60 DAS) and s₃ (Four spray at 20, 40, 60 & 80 DAS) and levels of fertilizer in three levels i.e. f₁ (100% RDF), f₂ (80% RDF) and f₃ (60% RDF). T₇ (Panchagavya 3% + Four spray at 20, 40, 60 & 80 DAS + 100% RDF) produced superior results on yield and quality parameters viz., [number of pickings, number of pods per plants, yield per plant (g), yield per plot (kg) and yield per hectare (t)] and [pod length (cm), pod diameter (mm), crude fiber (%) and crude protein content (%)], respectively and economics as well, as compared to the other treatments.
