Abstract

Thesis Title "Studies on integrated nutrient management in Okra (Abelmoschus escu/entus L.) cv.Arka Anamika" Advisor - Dr. Mukesh Kumar The present investigation entitled "Studies on integrated nutrient management in Okra (Abelmoschus escu/entus L.) cv.Arka Anamika". was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut during summer season of 2009. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The experiment consisted of eight treatments viz.T1 (150kg N + 60kg P20s + 60kg K20/ha), T2 (90kg N + 30kg P20s + 30kg K20 +10 tones FYM/ha), T3 (75kg N + 40kg P20s + 40kg K20 + 10 tones FYM +20 kg ZnSOJha), T4 (90kg N + ~Okg P20s + 30kg K20 + 5 tones VC/ha), Ts (75kg N + 40kg P20s + 40kg K20 + 5 tones VC +20 kg ZnS04/ha), T6 (10 tones VC +20 kg ZnSOJha), T7(15 tones FYM+20 kg ZnSOJha), Ta (Control). Objective of the study were:- 1. To find out the effect of plant nutrients through organic and their integration on growth and yield character of okra. 2. To work out the economics of different treatments. Conclusion: It is concluded on the basis of above investigation that the combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers i.e. treatment T 5 (75kg N + 40kg P20 5 + 40kg K20 + 5 tones VC +20 kg ZnS04 /ha), was recommended for under the agro climatic conditions of Meerut region of Uttar Pradesh.
