A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2003 and 2004 on okra [Abelmoschlls esculentlls (L.) Moench] at Horticulture Farm, S. K. N. College of Agriculture, Jobner, Rajasthan to'study the effect of nitrogen fertilization and biofertilizers on yield attributes, yield and quality of okra. Hybrid Varsha produced higher leaf area at 1st and last picking, branches/plant, fruit/plant, fruit yield, protein and crude fibre content compared to Barkha Bahar but remained on par with Hybrid Ganga. Inoculation of okra seed with Azospirillllm significantly increased leaf area, branches/ plant, fruit/plant, fruit yield, nitrogen, protein content in okra seed and available soil N over no inoculation. Application of 25% N through urea + 75% through vermicompost produced significantly higher leaf area, branches/plant, fruit/plant, fruit yield, nitrogen and protein content over control. However, maximum available N was recorded in 100% vermicompost followed by 25% N through urea+75%'N through vermicompost over control, farmers' practice, 100% N through urea and 75% N through urea+25% N through vermicompost.
