Abstract

A field experiment was carried out with four farming practices and three varieties at Palampur (H.P) during kharif 2021, to assess the effect of different farming practices on growth, phenological stages and yield of okra. The results revealed that integrated nutrient management (INM) resulted in significantly higher plant height, number of nodes per plant, dry matter accumulation, harvest duration and fruit yield. The minimum number of days to complete emergence were recorded in natural farming practice whereas the minimum number of days to first picking were recorded in organic farming. Palam Komal came out to be best performing among the three varieties which remained statistically at par with P-8 in growth attributes, phenological stages and total fruit yield.
