Sewage Water Effects on Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L) Moench) Growth Affected by Organic Matter, and Avm of Pseudomonas fluorescens
Authorized by Abdul Khalil Gardezi
Okra
(Abelmoschus esculentus) is a tropical crop, member of the Malvaceae family.
Its fruits are grown and widely used in many countries of Asia and Africa.
India is the main producer. It is cultivated in Mexico in small plots with
scarce know-how. A sustainable and low-cost technology is needed to increase
the profits of the farmers. Pseudomonas fluorescens have been used to increase
germination and for biological control of pathogenic fungus. The study was done
under greenhouse conditions. Two soils were used. One came from a parcel
irrigated with sewage water and the other one was irrigated with clean water
from a well. Half of the treatments were inoculated with Pseudomonas
fluorescens. Four doses of vermicompost were applied as a source of organic
matter. There were significant differences (p≤0.05) in most variables recorded
due to the treatments.
