dc.description.abstractA field experiment was conducted during hot weather period, 2006 on sandy loam soils of orchard block, Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla to study the effect of both organic and inorganic fertilisers on Okra. The experiment was laid out in Randomised block design with three replications. An increase in vegetative growth was observed with 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum . Maximum plant height was observed with the above treatment. This was on par with the treatment 25 per cent NPK + FYM + Azospirillum. Number of nodes was also maximum with the above treatment. Days to 50 per cent flowering was observed early with 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum i.e., 44.66 days. Maximum number of days to 50 per cent flowering was observed with unfertilized control. Manure applied at 50 percent levels, recorded comparatively early flowering than manure and organic alone. Fruit length, weight and volume exhibited superior results with the treatments receiving 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum which was on a par with that of 25 per cent NPK + farm yard manure + Azospirillum. Sole inorganic and organic treatments recorded reduced results compared to the combined effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers. There was not much difference among the treatments in 100 seed weight. However 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum recorded maximum 100 seed weight. This was on par with 25 per cent NPK + Farmyard manure + Azospirillum. The lowest 100 seed weight was recorded with unfertilized control. Maximum number of seeds per fruit was observed with the above treatment. Pure inorganic fertilizers resulted better than pure organic manures. Maximum number of fruits per plant was recorded with T2 treatment receiving pure inorganic nutrients followed by T6 treatment receiving 50% farmyard manure+50% RDF. Fruit yield was maximum with treatment receiving 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum which was on par with 25 per cent NPK + FYM + Azospirillum. Treatment receiving pure organic treatments recorded lesser fruit yield compared to combination of both organic and inorganic fertilizers. Leaf area and leaf area index was maximum with these treatments. NAR increased upto 60 days and thereafter the growth decreased and was ready for harvest. Drymatter content increased with the crop growth. Maximum drymatter content was observed with 25 per cent NPK + vermicompost + Azospirillum and was on par with 25 per cent NPK + FYM + Azospirillum. The nitrogen uptake was maximum with T2 treatment receiving sole inorganic nutrient. Phosphorus and potassium uptake was maximum with 25 per cent NPK + Farm yard manure + Azospirillum and was followed by T2 treatment receiving sole application of inorganic fertilizer . Least uptake was observed with unfertilized control.en_US
