The present investigations were conducted at Research Farm, Rama University, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh in 2018. Total 11 treatments, each replicated three times were applied and the experiment was laid out in randomized block design. The highest gross return (Rs 35, 166/ha), net return (Rs 18, 934/ha) and benefit-cost ratio (2.17) were recorded in the treatment comprising 50 per cent recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50 per cent N through vermicompost as compared to all other treatments. The total cost of cultivation in this case was Rs 16, 232. Thus for integrated nutrient management in okra the 50 per cent recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers + 50 per cent N through vermicompost could be recommended.
