The field experiment was conducted during kharif season to study the influence of different organic manures and fertility levels on yield attributes and economics of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] under semi-arid conditions of Jobner, Rajasthan. Results revealed that application of poultry manure @ 5 t ha⁻¹, significantly showed increased days to first flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit weight, fruit yield per plot, fruit yield per hectare and net returns as compared to control, FYM @ 15 t ha⁻¹ and remained at par with vermicompost @ 5 t ha⁻¹, while the application of 75% RDF was significantly at par with 100% RDF and showed enhanced growth and higher B:C ratio over rest of the lower levels. Application of poultry manure @ 5 t ha⁻¹ with 75% RDF proved the best treatment combination in comparison to other treatment combinations.
