Influence of Micronutrient Supplemented Organic Fertilizer on Growth and Productivity of Okra

The experiment was designed to manufacture the organic fertilizer with chicken manure, cow dung, rice husk, neem cake, press mud and rock phosphate. The compost microbe mixture 1 kg per 1000 kg of previously mentioned ingredient was applied through mixed in cow dung slurry. The ingredients were mixed thoroughly and composted in windrows. After 20 days of incubation, the windrows were again mixed thoroughly and composted for 20 more days. After composting, the organic fertilizer was cured for 10 days and sieved through mesh. The sieved organic fertilizer was used for field experiments. Field experiments were conducted to study the influence of organic fertilizer on the growth, yield and quality of okra var Arka Anamika. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and five treatments involving organic fertilizer (4.0, 8.0, 12.0, and 16.0 tones he-1) along with no manure control. The results showed that organic fertilizer 12 tones he-1 recorded maximum plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, and the highest yield.
