ABSTRACT
This research was carried out to study the effect
ofirrigation frequency on growth parameters, crop coefficient and yield of Okra
using manure in Tropical zone. This study covers responses of Okra to the
application of irrigation with and without manure. There are three responses to
this study; we have the control Wi, organic manure system W2 and W3 inorganic
manure study. This was done in order to determine crop coefficient, growth
parameters ofthe crop. The buckets were observed under a green house condition
in order to obtain climatological records for which the evapotranspiration model
was determined. Equal treatment ofOrganic and inorganic fertilizer were applied
in the ratio of 3:1 while the average responses to plant height observed for
the first treatment which is the control were 12, 10.5, 14cm, second treatment
were 14, 12, 16cm and third treatment were 13, 11.25, 15cm. The irrigation
water requirements for the six months recorded are 3.596,2.079,1.908, 0.857,
0.658 and 0.376 respectively. These values were highest in the month ofApril
and minimal in the month of September as a result ofthe demand of water intake
at the initial stage of planting but became saturated as leaves began to sprout
out. The yield to irrigation frequency revealed that the essence ofwater to
plant growth is very significant. Keywords: irrigation frequency, irrigation
water requirement, evapotranspiration, fertilizer, water.
