Abstract

The experiment was carried out in a field of Agriculture College / University of Karbala during the agricultural season 2024 where it was in 12/4/ 2024 and finished in 10/8/2024 to study the effect of fertilizer combination included eight treatments (0, boron 1 g. L-1, 20 organic fertilizer L-ha-1, 25 organic fertilizer L-ha-1, 30 organic fertilizer L-ha-1, 20 organic fertilizer L-ha-1 with boron 1 g. L-1, 25 organic fertilizer L-ha-1 with boron 1 g. L-1 ,30 organic fertilizer L-ha-1 with boron 1 g. L-1) on  growth and yield of two okra hybrids, the hybrid of okra were Sultana F1 and Gennext . The experiment was laid out in factorial within randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The means were compared by using LSD test at probability of 0.05. The results showed that the Gennext hybrid superiority upon Sultana F1 in growth and yield parameters (plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, number of pods, average pod weight and total yield).  fertilizer combination treatment T7 (30 liters ha-1 organic fertilizer + 1 g L-1 boron) showed significantly affected in all parameters compared with control. The interaction effect of two hybrids with fertilizer combination ,it clearly indicated that there was significant interaction effect in all parameters under observation (plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, number of pods, average pod weight, and total yield), where superior interaction between Gennext with T7 (30 liters ha-1 organic fertilizer +1 g L-1 boron)which was recorded (139.33cm,11 branches.plant-1, 110 leaves.plant-1 and 198.80 cm2.plant-1, 91.70 pods plant-1, 6.91 g. pod-1 and 21.95 tons. ha-1) respectively.
