This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of poultry manure (PM) and NPK 15-15-15 fertilizers on the growth and yield of okra ( Abelmochus esculentus ) in Ikorodu agro ecological zone, Lagos, Nigeria. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), replicated three times. Okra growth parameters were assessed taking data on plant height at 3, 6, and 9 WAS, number of leaves at 3 and 6 WAS, while yield performance was assessed at harvest (number of fruit, fruit weight). The result showed that application of PM significantly (P |
