Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen phosphorus and spacing on growth and yield of okra. It revealed that application of 85 kg/ha. Nitrogen and phosphorus 60 kg/ha. produced significantly maximum plant height, internodes length, diameter of fruit and green fruit yield compared to 60 kg/ha, 35 kg/h and 40 kg/ha and 20 kg/ha phosphorus. The population responded significantly to spacing 60×30 cm and higher plant height, diameter of fruit, leaf length, width, weight per fruit highest recorded. But spacing of 30×30 cm length of inter node and green fruit per hectare were recorded. The green fruit yield could be economical and profitable with application 85 kg/ha and 60 kg phosphorus when planted 30×30 cm spacing of okra in western Uttar Pradesh condition.
