Abstract: The present investigation was carried out at Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during the Zaid-2023 with a view to identify the effects of different doses of jeevamrutha and its role in growth, yield and quality of two varieties of okra. The experiment was laid in Factorial Randomized block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Under this experiment, overall, treatment combination was taken V₁T₀ (TMOH-375+water spray); V₁T₁ (TMOH-375+ 4% jeevamrutha); V₁T₂ (TMOH-375+ 6% jeevamrutha); V₁T₃ (TMOH-375+ 8% jeevamrutha); V₁T₄ (TMOH-375+ 10% jeevamrutha); V₂T₀ (SAMRAT + water spray); V₂T₁ (SAMRAT+ 4% jeevamrutha); V₂T₂ (SAMRAT + 6% jeevamrutha); V₂T₃ (SAMRAT + 8% jeevamrutha); and V₂T₄ (SAMRAT + 10% jeevamrutha). From the above experimental finding it was concluded that among various doses of jeevamrutha applied amid two varieties of okra, combination V₁T₄ (TMOH 375 + 10% spray of jeevamrutha) was found to be best in the terms of growth parameters like highest height of plant (60.90 cm at 60 DAT), maximum number of branches per plant (8.45 branches); yield parameters like maximum number of fruits per plant (9.85 fruits); maximum fruit length (10.36 cm) was observed in V1T4 (TMOH 375 + 10% spray of jeevamrutha) and maximum fruit yield per hectare (10.38 t/ha).
