Abstract :
An experiment to know the effect of fertigation on growth, yield and quality of Okra.Var. COBhH 1 was carried out during the year 2011 to 2013 at the Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with six treatments and replicated four times. The treatment combination includes raised bed cultivation, drip irrigation, fertigation, plastic mulch, foliar spray of WSF and micronutrients. The results revealed that okra raised bed drip irrigation plastic mulch fertigation foliar spray of WSF 19 19 19 @ 10 g lit. 5 times Mixture of all micronutrients T1 recorded the days to 50 early flowering 43.7days , highest plant height 175.4cm , fruit length 13.8cm , fruit girth 6.48 cm , No. of fruits plant 25.0 , fruit yield plant 0.466 kg , fruit yield hectare 201.2.0 q and economic returns 1.89 when compared to farmers practice T6 which recorded 155.4 q ha. Therefore T1 raised bed drip irrigation plastic mulch fertigation foliar spray of WSF 19 19 19 @ 10 g lit. 5 times mixture of all micronutrients can be recommended for getting increased growth, flowering and the highest yield for okra under kharif cultivation.
