Abstract

The effects of biochar and integrated nutrient management on the development and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) were investigated in a field experiment conducted in Research plots of college of agriculture, ouat, bhawanipatna during 2021-22. The experiment was laid out in RBD with Seven treatments which were replicated thrice. The treatments were T1 (biochar @ 5 t/ha + 100% RDF), T2 (biochar @ 10 t/ha + 100% RDF), T3 (biochar @ 5 t/ha + 5 t/ha FYM + 100% RDF), T4 (biochar @ 10 t/ha + 5 t/ha FYM + 100% RDF), T5 (biochar @ 5 t/ha + 75% RDF), T6 (biochar @ 10 t/ha + 5 6 75% RDF) and T7 (biochar @ 5 t/ha + 5 t/ha FYM + 75% RDF). The results revealed that biochar has good prospects for use as a soil conditioner for okra in the sandy loam soils of bhawanipatna. The soil application of biochar at the rate of 10 t/ha along with FYM @ 5 t/ha and 100 per cent RDF can be recommended for betterment of the growth and yield of okra in the sandy loam soils of western undulating agroclimatic zone of odisha

Conclusion

Biochar exhibits potential as an okra soil conditioner in the sandy loam soils in Bhawanipatna. To increase okra growth and yield in Bhawanipatna's sandy loam soils, 10 t/ha of biochar combined with 5 t/ha of FYM and a 100% recommended dose of fertiliser may be advised
