Abstract: A study was conducted at the farm of College of Horticulture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan (Gujarat) during kharif season 2017 to study the response of organic sources of nutrient on growth and flowering behavior of okra. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with seventeen treatments using three replications. Significant variations were observed for maximum plant height at 45 days after sowing (34.43 cm), maximum number of leaves at 45 days after sowing (9.79) and maximum stem thickness at 45 days after sowing (10.12 mm) were found in treatment of recommended dose of fertilizer : 100:50:50 kg NPK/ha (T1) to obtain significantly maximum plant height at 90 days after sowing (73.49 cm), maximum number of leaves at 90 days after sowing (16.78) and maximum stem thickness at 90 days after sowing (15.70 mm) were found in treatment of Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha + Azospirillum @ 2.5 l/ha + PSB @ 2.5 l/ha + KSB @ 2.5 l/ha (T17). The maximum Leaf area per plant at 60 days after sowing (1817.67 cm2), minimum days taken for initiation of first flower after sowing (39.00) and minimum days taken for first picking (46.35) was recorded not significant with treatment of recommended dose of fertilizer: 100:50:50 kg NPK/ha (T1). While, minimum days taken for flower initiation to edible maturity (6.21) was recorded not significant and highest days for last picking (104.06) was found significant with treatment of Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha + Azospirillum @ 2.5 l/ha + PSB @ 2.5 l/ha + KSB @ 2.5 l/ha (T17).
