Abstract
Bhendi [Abelmoschus esculentus (L) Moench] is one of the most commonly grown tropical vegetable crops. Its growth, yield and quality are highly influenced by the application of fertilizers and agrochemicals. An investigation was carried out to study the performance of bhendi (Abelmoschus esculenstus) cv. Arka Anamika under “Vrkshayurvedic Farming” with incorporation of different green leaf manures and seed soaking along with foliar sprays of different green leaf extracts on growth, yield, quality and economics. Among the treatment combinations, Albizia lebbeck [green leaf manure]+ Annona squamosa [seed soaking along with foliar sprays] was recorded the highest performance of growth parameters, yield and quality characters. This treatment also recorded highest net profit and benefit cost ratio. Treatment with only organic manure also resulted in improvement in fruit quality over application of only chemical fertilizer but had lesser effect on productivity.
