Efficiency of organic vs inorganic form of nitrogen on seed qualities of okra

A study was carried out to find the efficacy of nitrogen from inorganic as well as organic source on the seed qualities of okra cv. Pusa Sawani. The organic form in combination with inorganic forms proved better in enhancing the seed weight, seed number, volume and germination of seeds. Among organic forms, poultry manure was the best as compared to Horse manure and FYM in combination with inorganic or alone. The study thus revealed that to get good quality seed, combined application of organic and inorganic form of nitrogen are necessary. Inorganic or organic form applied alone proved less effective than its combinations.
