Abstract


A field experiment to study the effect of graded doses of nitrogen (25, 50 and 75kg N/ha), phosphorus (5, 10 and 15 kg P2 Os/ha) and potash (15, 30 and 45kg K20/ha) on the growth and yield of bhindi, Abelmoschus esculentus (variety Pusa savani) grown in the reclaimed alluvial soils of Kuttanad was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Kumarakom. Nitrogen had a significant effect on the yield of bhindi fruits and 75 kg N/ha was found to be significantly superior to 25 and 50 kg N/ha. But the effect of P and K were statistically significant. The NK interaction effect was statically significant with the combination N75K15 producing the maximum yield. In general, the NPK combinations were significantly superior to the absolute control (NoPoKo) in their effect on yield and yield components of bhindi.
