Abstract:
The experiment was conducted to study the effect of indigenous microorganism
fertllize.r on growth and yield of okra in sandy regosol. The experiment was laid out
in a Complete Block Design with five treatments. The treatments were recommended
inorganic fertilizer (T1), Indigenous microorganisms: soil: compost 1: 5: 2 ratios (T2),
lndigenous microorganisms: soil: compost 3/4: 5: 2 ratios (T3), Indigenous
microorganisms: soil: compost 1/2: 5 :2 ratios (T4) and Indigenous microorganisms:
soil: compost 1/4: 5 :2 ratios (T5). Okra variety Haritha was used in this experiment.
The present study revealed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in growth
and yield parameters and it was high T2. Further water delivery was high in T1 and
low in T2. The study concludes that among the all tested treaffnents microorganisms:
soil: compost 1: 5: 2 (T2) would be suitable for okra cultivation in sandy regosol.
