Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of different nutrient management practices for enhancing okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) productivity in [e.g., subtropical] conditions. The research aimed to address the environmental and economic challenges posed by the excessive use of synthetic fertilizers by exploring the potential of an integrated nutrient management (INM) approach. A randomized block design with [e.g., eight] treatments was employed, including the sole application of inorganic and organic fertilizers, as well as various INM combinations. Key parameters such as plant growth, yield attributes, and economic viability were meticulously recorded. The results demonstrated that Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) treatments, especially the combination of 50% of the recommended NPK dose with vermicompost, significantly outperformed other treatments, achieving the highest total pod yield of [e.g., 15.2 t/ha] and the most favorable benefit-cost ratio of [e.g., 3.98]. The study concludes that an integrated approach not only boosts okra productivity and profitability but also enhances soil health, providing a sustainable and economically sound alternative for modern agricultural management.
