Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the quality attributes of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] cv. Arka Anamika" during Kharif season from July to November 2019 at College of Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments viz., T1 -Control (no use of fertilizers), T2 -100% Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), T3 -75% RDF + 25% RDN through FYM + Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB], T4 -50% RDF + 50% RDN through FYM, T5 -75% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB], T6 -50% RDF + 50% RDN through vermicompost, T7 -75% RDF + 12.5% RDN through FYM + 12.5% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB], T8 -50% RDF + 25% RDN through FYM + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB], T9 -100% RDN through FYM and T10 -100% RDN through vermicompost. These treatments were replicated thrice.The quality of the okra pod was significantly affected with different INM treatments. The ascorbic acid (22.09 mg/100g) content of fruit was found higher in the treatment T10 consisted of 100% RDN through vermicompost. Lower crude fibre (9.4%) was recorded in treatment consisted of 100% RDF which was on par with treatment T7 (9.5%) consisting of 75% RDF + 12.5% RDN through FYM + 12.5% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria [PSB]. Maximum crude protein was also obtained in treatment T7 (14.1%).
