Title

Effect of fertilizers on the growth and yield of Lady’s Finger (Abelmoschus esculentus L) crop

Abstract

Field experiments were carried out in outdoor nursery of Solapur University, Solapur, Maharashtra, to evaluate the effects of organic and chemical fertilizers on Lady’s finger crop in terms of growth and yield. The field experiment involved five treatments together with the control and replicated thrice in randomized block design. Plot size 2m x1m was prepared for field cultivation. Vermicompost (T1) was applied at rate of 1kg/plot (@ 0.5kg/sq.m). A comman dose of organic fertilizers such as NADEP compost (T2) and pit compost (T3) were applied at same rate (@ 1.25kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq.m) in plot size 2m x 1m as per usual practice of agriculturalists. Chemical fertilizers were applied in the proportion 100:50:50 Kg of NPK/ha respectively according to recommended dose of fertilizers as (T4) and a set without fertilizer treating as control (T5). The maximum plant height of Lady’s finger crop (24.55cm) was obtained in chemical fertilizer treatment (T4) while the lowest plant height of Lady’s finger crop (17.03cm) was recorded when the crop was grown with pit organic fertilizer (T3) after 60th day. The highest (3.66) and lowest (2.33) numbers of fruits per plant were recorded with chemical fertilizer treatment (T4) and control treatment (T5) respectively. The maximum (10.46cm) and the lowest (9.26cm) fruit length of Lady’s finger crop were obtained in control field and use of vermicompost fertilizer respectively. The maximum (9.09gm) the lowest (6.48gm) mean weight per fruit per plant the fruit were observed with chemical fertilizer (T4) and pit compost treatment (T3) respectively. The maximum mean total weight of fruits per plant (28.17gm/plant) was recorded in chemical fertilizer treatment (T4) while the lowest mean weight of fruits per plant (12.66gm/plant) was recorded with pit compost treatment (T3). The maximum fruit yield per plot (1.26kg/plot) was recorded with chemical fertilizer treatment (T4) followed by vermicompost treatment (T1) after 60th day. It is concluded that the maximum fruit yield of Lady’s finger crop per plot (1.79 kg/plot) was recorded in chemical treatment (T4) while the lowest fruit yield was observed in pit compost treatment (T3) after 90th day.
