Abstract

The investigations were carried out to find out the feasibility of two biofertilizers either alone or in combination with FYM and different levels of NPK fertilisers in okra. Application of Azospirillum or Azotobacter supplemented with 15 t FYM/ha and 25–12.5–12.5 kg N, P2O5, K2O/ha to okra was found to be more beneficial for sustaining higher growth and yield of crop and promoting inherent fertility status of soil in medium land of Dankuni basin.
