“…Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contained in the inorganic fertilizer have great effects in plant growth and development. These results are similar with the findings of Brown et al (1995), who reported that the growth of okra plant was markedly influenced by the application of NPK fertilizer, as it was observed from the increased plant height and number of leaves compared to the control. The low response of okra to NPK fertilizer as compared to combined application of the two fertilizers is in agreement with the response patterns reported by other researchers on okra (Akanbi et al, 2005) Plant need high concentration of this primary nutrient as any deficiency of the essential nutrients will prevent good plant growth (Gholizadeh et al, 2009).…”

This study was designed to observe the effects of different application rates of inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) under BRIS soil condition. The field experiment was conducted during July, 2014 to April, 2015 at the teaching and research farm of University Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Besut Campus, Terengganu. Performance of okra variety Singa 979 was assessed by application of NPK at different rates (0 kg ha -1 (control), 150 kg ha, 170 kg ha . The treatments were fitted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated thrice. Data collected for growth and yields performances included plant height, number of leaf/plant, leaf area, number of branch/plant, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, internal CO 2 , stomatal conductance, number of flower/plant, number of pod/plant, weight of pod, number of seed/pod and total soluble solid (TSS) of the pods. Based on the results obtained from this experiment, application of NPK at the rates of 190 kg ha -1 and 210 kg ha -1 shows the highest growth and yield performance. It is followed by application of 170 kg ha -1 and 150 kg NPK/ha -1 in decreasing manner. No application of NPK shows the lowest growth and yield response. The significance of this research was to study the minimum rate of NPK on the effect on okra ground around the sea shore of Terengganu or in BRIS soil

“…Black plastic alters the plant's growing environment by generating warmer soil temperatures (Dodds et al, 2003;Hanna et al, 2003) and holding more soil moisture (Ham et al, 1991;Lamont, 1993) than bare soil. Researchers using black plastic instead of bare soil have recorded higher yields (Brown et al, 1995;Leib et al, 2002;Summers and Stapleton, 2002), earlier harvests (Bonanno and Lamont, 1987;Ibarra et al, 2001;Lamont, 1993), and cleaner fruit (Brown and Channell-Butcher, 2001; Loughrin and Kasperbauer, 2002), all attributed to soil temperature and moisture differences under plastic mulch. Sometimes black plastic mulches can create soil temperatures that are too high and this will cause deleterious effects on plant growth (Díaz-Péréz et al, 2000;Orzolek and Murphy, 1993).…”

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus ‘Clemson Spineless’) was grown on an Orangeburg sandy loam soil in Shorter, AL. Okra was direct-seeded in single rows. Treatments consisted of five mulch colors: black, white, red, silver, and blue installed either with or without spun-bonded row cover. Soil temperatures were 4 to 7 °C lower than air temperatures in all treatments. The use of darker (black, blue, red) -colored plastic mulches increased early and total yield of okra compared with bare soil with and without row cover. Increased soil and air temperatures did not always correlate to an increase in yield. It can be concluded that the use of dark plastic mulch is advantageous to growers of okra in climates that do not have cool springs, but the added use of row covers to plastic mulch has no effect on growth and yield. The profit of marketable okra produced using a row cover was $1.37 versus $1.35 per pound without a cover in 2003 and $1.28 versus $1.29 per pound in 2004. Blue plastic mulch is ≈$0.08 per foot more expensive than black plastic. Our data do not show an economic advantage for blue over black mulch for okra, but the positive effect cited by other authors may be more pronounced with leafy vegetables.
