OKRA CROP GROWTH AND YIELD RESPONSES TO DIFFERENT ORGANIC SOURCES OF NITROGEN
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 48
Abstract
An experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2011-12 under shade net condition to assess the effects of organic sources of nitrogen viz. FYM, Poultry manure and Neem cake along with inorganic fertilizer i.e. urea and their various combination levels on the yield performance of okra. Eleven treatments were arranged in randomized block design with three replications. The vegetative growth parameters and yield of okra var.-Parbhani Kranti was significantly influenced due to different sources of nitrogen. The maximum values of growth parameters like Plant height (101.51 cm), number of leaves (14.94), leaf area (282 cm2), number of branches (2.20), number of nodes (19.86) per plant and yield (159.12 q ha1) were recorded in the treatment of 60% N through neem cake and 40% N through urea. The keeping quality of fruits was significantly varies among the treatments and storage conditions used. The maximum keeping quality was 4.27, 4.67 and 5.13 days were found in open bag, paper bag and polythene bags of storage conditions respectively in the treatment of T11.
