Efficiency of Some Fertilizing Combinations on Growth and Yield in Okra ( L)

Abstract

Field trial was conducted at Directorate of Horticulture, Abu Ghreib, Iraq during 2017 season to assess the efficiency of some fertilizer combinations of bio+ organic fertilizers and was compared to chemical fertilizer (urea) for their effect on growth and yield of Okra. Six treatments were involved in trial viz, control (400kg N+280Kg P+200Kg K per hectare), organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer + , Trichoderma organic fertilizer+ bacterial inoculum and + bacterial inoculation. The combination of organic +bacterial inoculum fertilizer Trichoderma significantly increased plant height (76.0 cm), branches per plant (6.03), leaves per plant (82.3), fruit per plant (62.0) and plant yield per plant (568.3gm). The organic +bacterial inoculum fertilizer on okra was very efficient. Consequently, this combination could be used to maximize the yield of okra.
