Effects of Organic and Synthetic Fertilizers on Okra Plant (Abelmoschus Esculentus)
ABSTRACT
This investigatory project was conducted to test the effectivity of organic and synthetic fertilizers when apply on okra plant. It also aims to test whether, which is better to use between the two fertilizers.
In order to conduct the study, we have used okra seeds, polyethylene bag, and dried leaves as organic fertilizer, synthetic fertilizer, synthetic fertilizer, and natural soil. We have planted each polyethylene bag with 3 seeds of okra, labeled it as Setup A (Organic fertilizer), Setup B (Synthetic Fertilizer), And Setup C (Control Experiment). Then, we observed the changes in the plant for 3 weeks.
After several weeks, we observed some changes in the plant like the increasing number of its height and leaves.
We therefore conclude, that the synthetic fertilizer is better to use than organic fertilizer because it provides faster growth of the plant. But, it is very expensive. Some farmers, especially the poor ones and suffering from financial problems cannot afford this kind of fertilizer. It is also dangerous and harmful to the health of the farmers because of its chemical content.
