Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from April to September 2017 to study in
effect of nutrient management and fruit position on growth and seed yield of okra.
The experiment consisted of four different levels of NPKS as: F

factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.
Results showed that a significant variation among the treatments in respect
majority of the observed parameters. Different nutrient level and seed from

had significant influence on growth, seed yield and quality
components of okra. The maximum number of pods per plant (29.79), pod length
