Abstract: The experiment entitled “Response of foliar application of micronutrients, Novel organic liquid fertilizer and Sea weed extract on okra [Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench)]†was carried out during kharif season of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at the Vegetable Research Scheme, Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, and Gujarat. The experiment was conducted on fixed plot site with a set of nine treatments viz., the treatments comprising of two level of micronutrient mixture (Grade - I) (T1: Micronutrient mixture (Grade I) 1% and T2: micronutrient mixture (Grade I) 2%); three level of Novel organic liquid fertilizer (T3: Novel organic liquid fertilizer 0.5%, T4: Novel organic liquid fertilizer 1% and T5: Novel organic liquid fertilizer 1.5%); three level of Sea weed extract (T6: Sea weed extract 2%, T7: Sea weed extract 4% and T8: Sea weed extract 6%) and control (T9). The experiment was evaluated in Randomized Block Design (RBD).
Foliar treatment had a significant impact on almost all parameters included in the study. Among the different foliar treatments, Novel organic liquid fertilizer 1.5% had significantly the higher values of growth parameters viz., plant height at 25, 50 and 75 DAS i.e. 41.13, 90.66 and 123.45 cm respectively, number of flowering nodes (18.10) on main stem at final harvest, number of primary branches per plant at 25, 50 and 75 DAS (2.78, 3.29 and 4.10 respectively), length of internodes at final harvest (6.92 cm) and leaf area index (1.44).
