Abstract:
Field experiments were conducted at horticultural field of Rama University, Kanpur India to evaluate “Efficacy of biofertilizers and the combinations with chemical fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” during Feb to June 2022 to evaluate the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the yield of okra cv. Arka anamika. There were three replication and eight treatments which is design in RBD. The treatments were T₁ (Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), T₂ (Azotobacter + 50% NPK), T₃ (PSB + 50% NPK), T₄ (Azospirillum + 75% NPK), T₅ (PSB + Azotobacter + 50% NPK), T₆ (PSB + Azospirillum + 50% NPK), T₇ (PSB + Azospirillum + Azotobacter 50%), T₈ (Azotobacter + Azospirillum 50%) Growing conditions were found highly significant in respect to all the recorded parameters. Arka anamika variety of Okra was found highly significant in respect to plant height, number of leaves, fruit diameter, number of flowers, number of fruits, length of fruit, fruit weight, yield in the treatment (T₆) (PSB + Azospirillum + 50% NPK) and minimum in T₁ (Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF).
