Abstract: This study evaluated the comparative effects of the organic fertilizer (poultry manure, cow dung and composted manure) on okra (Abeloamoschus exclulentus) at Research Farm of Federal College of Forestry, Jericho, Ibadan, Nigeria, latitude 7°26N and longitude 3°36E. Three manures were used for this work (composted, cow dung and poultry manure), the manures were dried under intense sunlight and ground into powdery form and incorporated into topsoil in a polythene bag and watered to allow commencement of mineralization and germination fourteen (14) before planting. The experimental design was completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replicates. Composted manure gave the highest mean value of 35.6, 6.16, 0.67 and 15.713 for plant height, number of leaves, stem girth and fruit weight respectively. The control has the lowest mean value for all the experimental test carried out. The study revealed that okra responded well to the application of composted manure, cow dung and poultry manure and recommended to farmers in their cropping system for improved yields.
