| dc.description.abstract | A field study was conducted to determine the influence of organic fertilizer with and without supplement of Amino Plus organic foliar fertilizer in the production of organic okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). The different treatment used were : T1 - Control (no fertilizer), T2 - 2 OF tha-1, T3 - 4 OF tha-1, T4 - 6 OF tha-1, T5 - 8 OF tha-1, T6 - 10 OF tha-1, T7 2 OF tha-1 + Amino Plus, T8 - 4 OF tha-1 + Amino Plus, T9 - OF tha-1 + Amino Plus, T10 - 8 OF tha-1 + Amino Plus, T11 - 10 OF tha-1 + Amino Plus. The study was arranged in a single factor experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of the study revealed that okra plants fertilized with 10 OF tha-1 supplemented with Amino Plus foliar fertilizer at the rate of 2 tbsp/L of water and applied at weekly interval significantly produced broad Leaves with higher chlorophyll content (46.00) resulted to taller plants at flowering stage (28.57cm) and produced flowers and ready to harvest fruits at 19.00 and 46.00 days after sowing, respectively. Also,these plants produced longer fruit (9.60cm) and wider fruit diameter (1.41cm) that contributed to higher marketable fruit yield per plot/ha of (544.16g) (0.91 tha-1) with lesser (13.25g) non marketable fruits compared to the rest of the treatments evaluated. Interestingly, the yiels obtained from plants fertilized with 10 OF tha-1 _ Amino Plus supplement is 13.7% higher than those plants fertilized with 10 OF tha-1 without supplement but 185% higher on the control (no fertilizer). | |
