Abstract:
The study was conducted at the College of Horticulture, Bengaluru on okra to determine the effect of different Multiplex yield enhancers on its growth and development. The study reported that treatment T₁₀ recorded increased plant height (25 cm, 51.22 cm, and 82.47 cm) and number of leaves per plant (1.33, 3.33, and 4.33) at 30, 60, and 90 DAP, respectively. The same treatment also reported a higher number of branches, but the highest was reported in T₆ (1.33, 3.33, and 4.33, respectively). The increased number of pods per plant (42.29) and pod yield was recorded in treatment T₁₆ (190.28 g per plant and 23.78 t/ha, respectively). Similarly, the treatments including Multiplex Biojodi recorded the lowest pest and disease incidence. The combination of both organic and inorganic fertilizers of Multiplex yield enhancers proved to have better results in okra crop than the recommended dose of fertilizer alone.
