| dc.description.abstract | Field experiments were conducted during kharif, 2016 and summer, 2017 at organic farming research and development block, UAS, Bengaluru to study the effect of Organic Nutrient Management in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] under Factorial Randomised Complete Block Design with 12 treatments replicated thrice. The first experiment consisted of three factors viz., FYM (100, 150 and 200 % N equivalents through FYM), jeevamrutha (0 and 2000 L ha-1 ) and panchagavya (0 and 5 %) levels. Application of 200 per cent N equivalent through FYM recorded significantly higher fruit yield (9.59 and 11.31 t ha-1 ) as compared to 100 per cent N equivalent through FYM (7.38 and 8.52 t ha-1 ). Soil application of jeevamrutha (2000 L ha-1 ) recorded significantly higher fruit yield (9.56 and 11.11 t ha-1 ) as compared to without application of jeevamrutha (7.64 and 9.07 t ha-1 ) and foliar spray of panchagavya (5 %) recorded significantly higher fruit yield (9.15 and 10.58 t ha-1 ) as compared to without panchagavya (8.05 and 9.60 t ha-1 ) application during both the years, respectively. Interaction of these treatments did not differ significantly. The second experiment was laid out in Randomised Completely Block Design. There were twelve treatments consisted with different proportions of organic manures viz., compost, vermicompost and poultry manure and were replicated thrice. Among the different proportions of organic manure treatments, T12 [T5 (C:VC:PM-50:25:25 %) + application of jeevamrutha at 20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS] recorded significantly higher fruit yield (7.41 and 8.98 t ha-1 ) as compared to rest of treatments. Whereas, application of 100 per cent N equivalent through compost alone (T1) recorded lower fruit yield (T1-5.43 and 6.37 t ha-1 ) during kharif, 2016 and summer, 2017, respectively. | en_US |
