Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, during kharif 2019 to study the influence of biofertilizer, liquid organic manures Viz., Panchagavya, Vermiwash, Jeevamrit and Cow urine on growth of okra in the open field condition. The experiment was laid in Randomized Block Design with fifteen treatments replicated twice by using the variety Parbhani Kranti. the various types of liquid organic solutions prepared from plant and animal origin are effective in promotion of growth in okra. Different concentration of liquid organic manures like Panchagavya (500 lit/ha), Vermiwash (100 lit/ha) and Cow urine (100 lit/ha) were given at 15, 45 and 75 DAS through foliar spray and Jeevamrit (500 lit/ha) and biofertilizer like Azospirillium (2.5 lit/ha) was applied through drenching at 15, 45 and 75 DAS along with Recommended dose of fertilizers (N:P:K::100:50:50]. The observations on growth and flowering parameters were recorded during the investigation. On the basis of observations recorded, the result revealed that the significantly highest plant growth and flowering was recorded with the application of T₁₄ [RDF + Jeevamrit + Vermiwash + Panchagavya] and it was found to be significantly superior over other treatments and gives best results as compared to Control (100:50:50 N:P:K kg/ha).
