Abstract
Research is currently being done on how the
development of the Bhendi plant, Abelmoschus esculentus, is affected by organic
compost and synthetic fertilizers. Observations for morphological
characteristics, such as seed germination shoot length, root length, number of
leaves, and whole plant fresh weight, whole plant dry weight, had been made at
crucial growth phases in the life cycle of the Bhendi. Natural compost (NC) and
Artificial fertilizers (AF), among other mixes of organic manures, were
structured and used in the experiment. T1 - Control, T2 - (MWC 100%), T3 - (CMC
100%), T4 - (GMC 100%), T5 - (MWC + CMC+ GMC), T6 - (N)urea, T7 (P)super single
phosphate,T8 - (K)potassium, T9 - (N+P+K), and T10 - (N+P+K)+ The data analysis
revealed that applying natural compost increased the physical properties of
plants when compared to the control and other treatments. While treatment
compound synthetic fertilizer T9 (N+P+K) has shown a great potential for plant
growth, results with treatment compound fertilizer T10-(N+P+K) + (MWC+CMC+GMC)
were remarkably similar. As a result, the growth of the Bhendi plant and its
fruit is fully dependent on the quantity of natural compost combined with
synthetic fertilizers applied.
