A study was conducted in the experimental farm of the Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria to determine the effect of poultry manure tea on soil chemical properties, the vegetative growth and yield of okra. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated three times. The treatments consists of 2kg of poultry manure soaked in 50, 75, 100 liters of water and N.P.K 20-10-10 while okra was used as the test crop. The results showed that the application of 2kg of poultry manure in 100liters of water increased the soil chemical properties significantly while the application of 2kg of poultry manure in 75 liters of water was observed to support more of the vegetative growth of okra as well as the yield of the okra plant. Although, N.P.K 20-10-10 inorganic fertilizer increased the parameters measured, poultry manure tea was significantly better.
