Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of nitrogen (50, 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, number of leaves per plant, number of primary branches per plant, days taken to the appearance of first flower, length of green pod, number of green pods per plant and yield of green fruit (q/ha). The height yield was recorded with the 100 kg/ha. Nitrogen, 1000 ppm Copper and Iron application as compared to over the control during both the years.
