Overview

Field experiment demonstrates improved pod yield and fruit quality in okra with manure application and high planting density, suggesting optimal spacing for natural farming.

Key Points

To determine the effects of farmyard manure application and various plant spacing densities on the growth, yield, and pod quality of okra under natural farming management.
Conducted a field experiment using a split-plot design with four replications, evaluating okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L., var. Pusa Green) across four plant-to-plant spacings (10, 15, 20, and 25 cm) with fixed 60 cm row spacing.
Applied decomposed farmyard manure at 25 t ha⁻¹ one week prior to bed formation and compared outcomes against non-manured control plots.
Okra planted at 10 and 15 cm plant-to-plant spacing with 25 t ha⁻¹ manure achieved fresh pod yields of 11.22 and 10.97 t ha⁻¹, representing a 25% and 24% increase over plots without manure.
The 10 cm plant density combined with manure produced pods with lower crude fiber content (9.89% vs. 10.93% without manure) and higher moisture content (79.14% vs. 77.49% without manure).
