The aim of this study was to determine the influence of bio-fertilizer concentrations on growth and yield of Okra. The experiment was conducted in Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University during August-October, 2021. BARI-1 okra variety as plant materials and Eco-Agra as bio-fertilizer were used in this experiment. The study was consisted of four levels of Ecoagra application as bio-fertilizers: (i) Control (T0); (ii) 2ml/L (T1); (iii) 4ml/L (T2); (iv) 6ml/L (T3) and arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The vegetative growth and yield contributing parameters of okra were measured, and they showed significant variation. The results illustrated that, the higher doses of liquid bio fertilizer influenced vegetative growth and yield. The maximum number of pod per plant (14.0), yield per plant (187.2 g) was found in T3 treatment. Furthermore, application of different doses of liquid bio-fertilizer increased yield significantly and recorded (18.1%), (51.6%) and (59.0%) higher yield in T1, T2 and T3 treatment over no application of Ecoagra. Plant height showed positive correlation with all the yield related parameters significantly while internode length of plant showed negative correlation. Therefore, application of 6ml/L Ecoagra would be the potential for okra production with higher yield.
