Abstract
An experiment was conducted at horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during April-July 2019 to evaluate the spirulina and oscillatoria as bio-fertilizer for okra production. The experiment conducted with four treatments viz. Control (T0), Oscillatoria (T0s), Spirulina (TSp) and Spirulina + Oscillatoria (TSp+os) following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The both application of oscillatoria and spirulina treatment exhibit significant differences with other studied treatments and influenced to increase the yield (25.5%) over control. However, individual application of oscillatoria and spirulina were related to the best bio-fertilizer of okra production and increased yield (19.3% and 21.4% respectively) as compared to control. So, the effectiveness of all the treatment, individual use of oscillatoria and spirulina will be the prominent bio-fertilizer for safe and organic crops production and, both use of oscillatoria and spirulina is recommended.
Key Words: Bio-fertilizer, Bio-stimulator, Spirulina, Oscillatoria and Cyanobacteria
