A field experiment was conducted during kharif season at Jobner, Rajasthan to study the influenceof different organic manures and fertility levels on growth and quality attributes of okra viz.[Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] with 16 treatment combinations of organic manures (control,FYM @ 15 t/ha, vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, poultry manure @ 5 t/ha and 4 fertility levels viz. (control,50% RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF. Results revealed that application of poultry manure @ 5 t/ha,significantly showed higher plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf area, chlorophyll contentin leaves and also increased levels of NPK and protein content in fruits as compared to control,FYM @ 15 t/ha and remained at par with vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, while the application of 75 % RDFwas significantly at par with 100 % RDF and showed enhanced growth and quality over rest of thelevels. However, crude fibre content remained materially unchanged under different organic manuresand fertility levels.
