Abstract

The modern nutrient management strategy has shifted its focus toward the concept of sustainability and eco-friendliness. Integrated use of various soil fertility amendment inputs aims at alleviating the limiting nutrients problem and improving their availability. During the Kharif season from July to November 2019, the present study has been conducted in the College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University to determine the impact of integrated nutrient management on the yield characteristics of okra. The results showed that the different treatments had a substantial impact on yield characteristics. The okra crop supplied a combination of 75 per cent RDF + 12.5 per cent RDN via FYM + 12.5 per cent RDN via vermicompost + Azotobactor + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB] (T7) influenced growth characters positively, registering superior values for yield attributes like minimum days to first fruit set (47 days), number of fruits per plant

Keywords

Okra, RDF, RDN, Yield.

Conclusion

The bhindi crop treatment applied with 75% RDF + 12.5% RDN through FYM + 12.5% RDN via vermicompost + Azotobactor + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB] (T7) favourably influenced the higher values of yield parameters viz. fruit length (15 cm), average fruit weight (18.8 g), pod yield/plant (0.4 kg) and pod yield/plot (10.03 kg) proved superior over other treatments under study.
