Abstract
The present experimentation entitled “Effect of organic manures and liquid
formulations on growth, yield and quality of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.)
Moench] cv. Arka Anamika” was conducted at Horticulture farm, Horticulture
Department, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during zaid season of the year
2018-2019. Results showed that the application of M3 treatment (i.e. FYM 1/3rd +
PROM 1/3rd + NC 1/3rd equivalent to 100% RDN) as organic manures and L1
treatment (i.e. panchagavya spray @ 3% at flowering and 15 days after flowering) as
liquid formulation were recorded significantly highest values of different characters of
okra such as plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, days to first picking,
fruit length and diameter, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, yield per plot, yield
per hectare, net returns, fiber content, keeping quality and also enhances soil
properties.
Among the treatment combinations, M3L1 treatment (i.e. FYM 1/3rd + PROM
1/3rd + neem cake (NC) 1/3rd equivalent to 100% RDN along with foliar spray of
panchagavya @ 3% at flowering and 15 days after flowering) was observed with
highest fruit length (cm), number of fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), yield per plot
(kg), yield per hectare (q), keeping quality (days), net returns (Rs. /ha) and B:C ratio
during investigation. It was also reported that soil properties and total microbial
population were improved by this treatment combination
