Abstract
Research was conducted by using effective management application of FYM and Azospirillum with inorganic fertilizer with objective to enhance the growth and yield of okra crop. It has been concluded from the trial that the different level of FYM with inorganic fertilizers in the experiment gave the highest value. Effective results were obtained with T9 treatment with combination FYM 20 t ha-1, Azospirillum 2 kg ha-1 with RDF 100: 60: 50 kg hhah ha-1. This treatment result shown best plant height with the most leaves, a high number of branches, a greater number of fruits per plant and highest yield in compared with the control treatment T1 had the lowest results in all categories. T9 was found to be the best for the improvement of growth and yield of okra therefore, farmers of Prayagraj region can adopt this combination to give the highest yield of Okra.
