A field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India during the year 2016-1017, A field experiment was conducted to study the response of chemical fertilizers on certain quality parameters like Total soluble solids (T.S.S.), Ascorbic acid, Total Sugars, Reducing Sugar and Non Reducing Sugar of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) var. Kashi Pragati. The experiment was carried under Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. A single standard variety (kashi pragati) released from IIVR Varanasi is sown with the different treatment combinations. The treatment combinations were T1 (control), T2 (FYM), T3 (Vermicompost), T4 (Neemcake), T5 (50% RDF+FYM), T6 (50%RDF+Vermicompost), T7 (50%RDF+Neemcake), T8 (75% RDF+FYM), T9 (75%RDF+Vermicompost), T10 (75%RDF+Neemcake), T11 (50%RDF+Azotobacter), T12 (50%RDF+PSB), T13 (50%RDF+VAM), T14 (75%RDF+Azotobacter), T15 (75%RDF+PSB), T16 (5%RDF+VAM). Performance with respect to yield and yield Attributing characters was best in the treatment T6 (50%RDF+ Vermicompost) and the poor performance was in T1 (Control) Treatment. On the basis of overall performance under the present investigation, it may be concluded that the application of 50% RDF+Vermicompost in Kashi Pragati increased the Growth, Yield and Nutritional Quality of Okra under Lucknow condition.
