Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield contributing characters of red okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)” cv. Lal Bhendi No. 533 was conducted at Dr. B. S. K. K. V, Dapoli, with nine treatments and three replications. The experimental findings revealed that the treatment T₂ i.e., 100% RDF + vermicompost @ 10t/ha + Azospirillum @ 5kg/ha recorded better results in fruit length (13.10 cm), fruit girth (16.84 mm), fruit weight (14.90 g), number of fruits per plant (16.10), yield per plant (239.29 g) and total yield (17.72 t/ha). Whereas longest shelf life (2.12 days) was noted in treatment T₈ (75% RDF +Vermicompost +VAM).
