abstract={Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is one of most widely consumed vegetables in C?te d'Ivoire, occupying a prime position due to its economic, dietary and medicinal importance. A strategy for replacing chemical fertilization with organic fertilizer was evaluated in this study. The growth and yield of okra plants were evaluated after amendment of cultivation soil (treatment T0) with treatments T1 (mineral fertilizer alone), T2 (compost alone), T3 (compost + mineral fertilizer) and T4 (compost + hydrolysate). The results showed that plant growth parameters were significantly improved when the soil was amended with both mineral and organic fertilizers. However, compost alone was more than sufficient to promote this growth. Flowering and fruiting times were significantly reduced by the application of organic fertilizers. High yields (10 t/ha) were obtained with compost alone, compared with 5 t/ha with mineral fertilizer and 3 t/ha for unamended control.},
