Abstract
The response of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) was tested using four organic foliar fertilizers as supplement to 50% commercial fertilizer application. Treatments were compared in three replicates composed of 10 sample plants at a distance of 60cm x 60cm between hills and rows respectively. Growth and yield parameters such as plant height at flowering, number of pods per hill, weight and length of pod per hill and weight of marketable and non-marketable yield was measured. No significant differences observed on all the parameters tested except on the weight of non-marketable yield where plants applied with 50% RRCF plus supplementation of sargassum tea as foliar fertilizer had the least number of infested pods because of the presence of pesticidal and insecticidal effect on okra plants. In conclusion, reducing the recommended rate commercial fertilizer of 50% and supplement it with vermicompost tea, sheep manure tea, silkworm tea, sargassum tea is possible and thus recommended for a sustainable and eco-friendly vegetable farming. published by the Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES
