Seeds of okra cv. Pusa Sawani were sown in the field on various dates i.e. April 15, April 25 and May 5, using different levels of N and P fertilizers. Maximum germination percentage was observed when crop was sown on either April 25 or May 5. Plant height, number of days to flower and length of green pod were not affected by the sowing - dates. Number of leaves per plant, number of pods per plant and green pod yield were higher when crop was sown on April 15 or May 5. Germination percentage, green pod length and yield were not influenced by different levels of fertilizers used. Maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of days to flower and number of pods per plant were obtained with the highest fertilizer dose (150 kg N + 80 kg P2O5, ha-1). Germination percentage, number of days to flower and length of green pods were not influenced by the interaction between sowing time and fertilizer dose. Maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of pods per plant and green pod yield were recorded when the crop was sown on May 5 and given the highest dose of fertilizers (150 kg N + 80 kg P205 ha-1).
