The Effect Of Organic And Inorganic Fertilizer On Growth, Development, Yield And Nutritional Composition Of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Moench):- Ezenwa,Chidera J.
ABSTRACT
This field work experiment was
conducted to study the effect of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on the
growth, development, yield and nutritional composition of okra (4belmoschus
esculentus (L.)Moench). The experiment consisted of three treatments,
consisting of organic manure (pig and goat droppings) applied at the rates of
100kg per bed (50kg goat manure and 50kg pig manure), NPK fertilizer (15: 15:
15) applied at the rate of I 0g per plant two weeks after sowing, and the
control. The treatments were laid in a completely randomized block design with
three replications. Plant growth and development was assessed using plant
height, number of leaves, leaf area, plant girth, root length, fresh weight of
leaves, fresh weight of stem, fresh weight of root, leaves dry weight, stem dry
weight, and root dry weight. Plant yield was assessed using pod length, pod
girth, number of pod per treatment, fresh weight of pod, and dry weight of pod.
Nutritional composition was assessed using the proximate analysis and the
mineral content. The analysis of the data collected revealed that organic
manure treatment gave the best performance for both growth and yield parameters
whereas that collected for nutritional composition showed that Zero treatment
performed better than the other treatments in many of the parameters tested.
