The repeated usage of fertilizers in soil leads to reduced crop yield, increased soil acidity and nutrient imbalance. A combination of organic materials along with mineral fertilizer is better way of management for the soil. The application of each fertilizer has significant effect on the growth and biochemical performance of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus). The growth response such as seed germination, shoot length, root length and leaf length were significantly increased with plants amended with Biofertilizers. The response of the plants varied with respect to fertilizers. The Biofertilizers amendment greatly influenced all the growth characters of okra compared to other fertilizers. Likewise, the biochemical characters such as crop yield, soil acidity and nutrient imbalance were significantly increased in the plants amended with organic and biofertilizers. A combination of organic materials and mineral (i.e.) Biofertilizer is better for the management of these conventional seed plants whereas for growth of hybrid seeds, it is better with the chemical fertilizers which are readily available.
