The effect of phosphorus and potassium was found to be effective on different attributes like, fruit length, fruit weight, number of seed per dry fruit, seed yield per plant, weight of seed per dry fruit and seed yield per plot were found significantly increased with application of 75 Kg P/ha and 75 kg K/ha. Seed quality characters like test weight and germination percentage were found significantly maximum with application of 75 kg P/ha and 75 kg K/ha. Overall assessment indicated that 75 kg P/ha and 75 kg K/ha was optimum dose for enhancing qualities of okra.
