INFLUENCE OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC NITROGENAMENDMENTS ON OKRA GROWTH, YIELD, QUALITY ANDECONOMICSUmesh Chandra Sati, Manoj Raghav, Lavlesh Yadav, Neeraj Singh4 and Kailash SatiAbstract To evaluate the influence of organic and inorganic nitrogen amendments on okra, field experimental trialswere conducted during summer seasons of year 2016 and 2017 at Vegetable Research Centre, G.B. PantUniversity of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand with fourteen treatment combinations ofnitrogen through organic (FYM and Vermicompost) and inorganic sources (Urea and Neem coated urea)along with one control treatment. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Designwith three replications and the observations on various growth, yield, quality and economic parameterswere recorded. Among all other treatments, treatment T4 (RDN- 100% through neem coated urea) provedto be economically best as per benefit: cost ratio, while treatments T10 (RDN- 100% through NCU + 2.5 t/haVermicompost) and T6 (RDN- 75% through neem coated urea+25% through Vermicompost) were foundbest with regards to increase in productivity of okra with optimum net returns, hence recommended for thepresent agro-climatic conditions. |
