Abstract

The productivity of green okra at the field level is still variable and not optimal, one of which is influenced by nutrient availability. This study aims to evaluate the growth and yield response of okra plants to the application of various types of manure under field cultivation conditions. The study was conducted from March to June 2025 at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta. The experimental design used a Randomized Complete Block Design, consisting of five treatments and five replications. The treatments consisted of; no fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer, chicken manure 100 g/plant, goat manure 100 g/plant, and cow manure 75 g/plant. Parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, flowering age, number of fruits, fruit length, and fruit weight, as well as physiological supporting data in the form of specific leaf area. The results showed that 100 g of chicken manure per plant provided the most optimal response in all growth and yield parameters. This treatment significantly increased plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter, accelerated flowering age, and produced the highest number, length, and weight of fruits compared to other treatments. Thus, this study confirms that chicken manure has the potential to be an effective and applicable source of organic nutrients in sustainable okra cultivation.
