The present experiment was carried out with aim to find out the optimum combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers in relation to growth of Okra and to find out the best source of organic manure in relation to yield of okra or Lady finger at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sardar Patel University Balaghat (M.P.) during Kharif season 2021. The details of treatment combination used are T1(Control)); T2(100% RDF* (Recommended Dose of Fertilizer)); T3(75% RDF + 25% Azospirillum); T4(50% RDF + 50% FYM); T5(50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost); T6(50% RDF + 25% Azospirillum + 25% FYM); T7(50% RDF + 25% Azospirillum + 25% Vermicompost) and T8(50% RDF + 25% FYM + 25% Vermicompost). The experiment was laid in Randomized block design with 8 treatments and 3 replications with different treatment combination of nutrients mentioned. The overall results obtained from this present investigation clearly revealed that the application of T7((50% RDF + 25% Azosprillum +25% vermicompost) showed the better performance for vegetative growth (plant height, number of branch per plant, number of leaves per plant ,leaf area, days to 50% flowering), yield attributes (number of fruit per plant, fruit yield per plant (kg), fruit yield per plot (kg), Single pod weight (g), of okra except fruit length and fruit diameter) were would be useful to enhance the productivity of okra. The key challenge of study is high cost of organic nutrient sources and microbial inoculants, maintaining optimum dosage recommendations, and scaling integrated nutrient management for widespread adoption of okra.
