The present study was carried out during summer season of 2019–20 and 2020–21 at Agricultural Research Station (Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra), Awashi, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra to investigate the effect of different organic sources on soil quality, growth and yield of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) having 3 replications with different organic treatments [Control (without organic manure) (T1), 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) from FYM (T2), 100% RDN from vermicompost (T3), 100% RDN from neem cake powder (T4), 100% RDN from farm compost (T5), 100% RDN from poultry manure (T6), Jeevamrut @500 L/ha in three splits at 20, 40, and 60 DAS (T7), and recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) @100:50:25 N:P2O5:K2O kg/ha (T8)]. Konkan Bhendi variety was selected for the study. A maximum okra production was obtained when the prescribed dose (100:50:25 N:P2O5:K2O kg/ha) of chemical fertilizer was applied. This treatment was comparable to treatments getting 100% RDN from poultry manure and 100% RDN from neem cake powder. While considering the soil quality, the application of PM and Neem cake powder enhanced the amount of organic matter in the soil and improved the soil's physical and chemical qualities. Poultry manure was observed better source of nutrient management from the perspectives of soil quality, growth, and yield for the production of okra. Production of organic okra contributes greatly to preserving the soil's fertility by enhancing its microbial flora.
