“…The low response of ladies finger to NPK fertilizer in the present study as compared to combined application of NPK fertilizer with poultry manure or biogas plant residues corroborates the response patterns reported by other researchers on okra [24] and on maize crop [25]. Poultry manure alone and in combination with NPK fertilizer gave higher plant height, number of fruits plant -1 and fresh fruit yield than biogas plant residues combination and NPK alone.…”

A field experiment was conducted in the crop field of the Department of Soil Science, University of Chittagong, Bangladesh to study the effects of biogas plant residues, poultry manure and NPK fertilizer on growth and yield of ladies finger (Abelmoschus esculentus L Moench). There were six treatments -control (no fertilizer/poultry manure/compost), full NPK @ 120 kg N ha -1 , 60 kg P ha -1 and 80 kg K ha -1 , full biogas plant residues(BPR) @ 30 ton ha -1 , 50% NPK+ 50% BPR, full poultry manure (PM) @ 30 ton ha -1 , 50% NPK+ 50% PM. The treatments were arranged in randomized block design with three replications. The data collected were number of leaves, plant height, fruit length, fruit circumference, number of fruits and fruit yield. The results showed that full NPK fertilizer did not significantly increase the growth and yield of ladies finger over control. Compared to control addition of full poultry manure and its combination with NPK fertilizer resulted in 6.28 to 7.29 fold increases in yield. were obtained in treatments with biogas plant residues compared to treatments with poultry manure. Our result indicate that poultry manure can be used in combination with the application of inorganic fertilizers for better growth and yield of ladies finger in the valley soils of Chittagong.

“…Palm et al [29] gave the importance of organic and inorganic fertilizer as essential tools in okra production. The low response of ladies finger to NPK fertilizer in the present study as compared to combined application of NPK fertilizer with poultry manure or compost corroborates the response patterns reported by other researchers on okra [30] and on maize crop [31]. Poultry manure alone and in combination with NPK fertilizer gave higher plant height, number of fruits plant -1 and fresh fruit yield than compost combination and NPK alone.…”

There were six treatments-control (no fertilizer/poultry manure/compost), full NPK @ 120 kg N ha-1 , 60 kg P ha-1 and 80 kg K ha-1 , full poultry manure (PM) @ 30 ton ha-1 , 50% NPK+ 50% PM, full kitchen waste compost @ 30 ton ha-1 , and 50% NPK+ 50% compost. The treatments were arranged in randomized block design with three replications. The data collected were number of leaves, plant height, fruit length, fruit circumference, number of fruits and fruit yield. The results showed that full NPK fertilizer did not increase the growth and yield of ladies finger over control. Application of poultry manure, compost and their combination with NPK fertilizers significantly influenced the growth and yield. However, the combined application of 50% NPK+50% PM showed the best ladies finger performance compared to other treatments in the valley soils of Chittagong.

“…The highest plant height recorded in T6 may be probably due to sufficient amount of nutrients taken up by crop from mineralization of the fertilizers. The result obtained in this study confirmed the work of Akanbi et al (2004) who reported that growth of okra was remarkably increased by use of organomineral fertilizer. Plant height is a significant trait associated with the biological and economic yield.…”

Dried Albizia leaf mould (10 mt/ha) and banana peel (0.1-0.5 mt/ha) with reduced level of NP chemical fertilizers were applied on the production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.).The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with seven treatments. The result revealed that the combined application of 10 mt/ha leaf mould and 0.1 mt/ha banana peel with 50% NP chemical fertilizer as basal and 50% N as top dressing (T6) exhibited higher yield than recommended 100% NPK chemical fertilizer alone (T2). Plants treated with fertilizers showed significant influences (P<0.05) in the growth parameters such as leaf area, length, fresh and dry weight among treatments. Remarkable differences (P>0.05) in number of fruits per plant were obtained. Among the treatments, considerable variations in fruit diameter, fresh and dry weight of fruit (P<0.05) were observed. An increase in the fresh weight of fruit per plant by approximately 8.5% was obtained in T6 when compared with the control (T2). The marketable fruit yield per m2 was 654.71 g in T6 and 603.61 g in the control. It was also noted that combined use of organic (leaf mould with banana peel) and chemical fertilizers increased fruit yield when compared to the application of organic fertilizer (leaf mould with banana peel) alone as basal application. From this study, it could be concluded that Albizialeaf mould (10 mt/ha) and banana peel (0.1 mt/ha) with 50% NP chemical fertilizers as basal and also 50% N chemical fertilizer as top dressing could be used for obtaining high fruit yield in okra cultivation.
