Organic fertilizers are applied to plants and /or soils to improve soil fertility, plant vigour, quality and yield of the plant. Organic based fertilizers are used both in organic and conventional agriculture. In the present study, the vegetable crop Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench was taken and the growth studies were carried out. The germination study carried out using different organic fertilizers showed 100% germination in almost all the treatments. In control, it was90%.The shoot length was found to be higher in T4 i.e., combination of VAM+ Vegetable compost+ Phosphobacteria on the 30thdayand45thday.Similar to shoot length, the root length was more inT1on the 30th day. The fresh weight of the plant was minimum on all the days in control plants. On the 45th day, 60th day and 75th day, the fresh weight of the plant was more in plants treated with VAM fungus. The dry weight of the plants showed significant increase in plants treated with VAM fungus (T1).The number of leaves was more in plants treated with combination of fertilizers. On the 75th day, the number of the fruits formed was more in plants treated with vegetable compost which shows that, a the compost starts degrading, releases the nutrients and it is being absorbed by the plant and results in increase in the growth and yield of the vegetable crop.
