Abstract
Field experiment was conducted during the kharif seasons of 2017 at Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner (Jaipur) to assess the effect of biofertilizers and organic manures on production efficiency, water productivity and monetary efficiency of okra. The study had four organic manures and four biofertilizer treatments that were replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design. Vermicompost application @ 6 t ha-1 resulted into the maximum production efficiency (201 kg ha-1day-1) and water productivity (54 kg ha-1mm-1) whereas poultry manure (@ 8 t ha-1) reported greatest monetary efficiency (Rs. 3013 ha-1day-1). Among the biofertilizers, dual seed treatment with both Azosprillum + PSB recorded 39%, 40% and 55% higher production efficiency, water productivity and monetary efficiency than control. Fourth picking yielded the greatest tonnes of fruit and yield declines after it. Application of organic manures and biofertilizer enhanced okra yield up to 5.9 and 3.8 t ha-1, respectively. Therefore, poultry manure and double inoculation with biofertilizer is advisable for okra production under poorly fertile soils.
