Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of nitrogen (SO, 100 and 150 kg/ha), copper (500,1000 and 2000 ppm) and iron (500,1000 and 2000 ppm) on growth and yield of okra cv Pusa Sawani. The significant result were obtained in growth and yield parameters i.e. the maximum plant height, diameter of stem, length of longest leaf, width of longest leaf, days taken to the appearance of first pod, weight of fresh pod and yield of green pods per plant. The maximum yield was recorded with the 100 kg/ha nitrogen, 1000 ppm copper and iron application as compared to over the control during the both years.
