NPK Fertilizers and Organic Manure Effects on Okra Growth and Yield

This chapter discusses the impact of NPK fertilizers, FYM, and Vermicompost on the growth and yield of okra. A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season in 2022 at the research farm of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology, and Sciences Prayagraj (Allahabad) in India. The experiment used a randomized block design with three levels of NPK, three levels of FYM, and three levels of Vermicompost. The results showed that the treatment T9, which used a combination of NPK, FYM, and Vermicompost, resulted in the highest plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant, and total fruit yield. Overall, the use of organic manures and its mixture with full NPK significantly increased the growth and yield attributes of okra. The study concluded that the application of NPK, FYM, and Vermicompost in treatment was found to be the most effective in increasing the growth and yield of okra.
