Abstract
This study sought to determine the effects of the different kinds of organic fertilizers on the growth and yield performance of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) variety smooth green using the recommended rate of application of 9 tons/hectare. The experiment was laid out in RCBD [randomized complete block design] using six treatments: T1=control (no fertilizer); T2=inorganic fertilizer (IF); T3=cow manure based organic fertilizer (CMBOF); T4=chicken manure based organic fertilizer (VCOF). Each plot was replicated three times. Experimentation was limited to one trial. The okra plants fertilized with organic fertilizers were smaller than those plants applied with inorganic fertilizers 47 days after planting, however, those plants applied with VCOF have comparable height with those plants fertilized with IF at the end of the experimentation. Plants with CMBOF, ChMBOF, and BPOF have the same height and comparable with the control plants. The application of organic and inorganic fertilizers has no influence on the performance of okra in terms of leaf length, stem diameter, days to first harvest, fruit length, basal fruit diameter, and number of fruits per plant. Those plants applied with different organic fertilizers produced the same weight of fruits, significantly heavier than the fruits harvested from the control and comparable with those plants applied with IF. Hence, the application of organic fertilizer could be a good alternative to inorganic fertilizer in okra production.
