Abstract: This world is being polluted every day by various wastes; Natural wastes naturally contain very important nutrients. So we get various wastes from plants and animals in agriculture which we need a lot for our daily life. Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (Moench) plays a significant role in humans nutrition because its fresh leaves, stems, flowers, pods and seeds, are used for multiple purposes. When it is properly converted into fertilizer and mixed with the right percentage of chemical fertilizers, the plant gets a high yield. At the same time, it is found through this research that the agricultural land is not affected at all. In this research, the research was carried out by giving natural fertilizer alone and with chemical fertilizer as fertilizer to plants in agriculture. In the study, different types of fertilizers were developed and used which included organic fertilizers (NC) and chemical fertilizers (CF). Scheduled sites T1- Control, T2 - (MWC 100%), T3 - (CMC 100%), T4 - (GMC 100%), T5 - (MWC + CMC + GMC), T6 - (N) urea, T7 (P) super single phosphate and T8 - (K) potassium, T 9 - (N + P + K), and T 10- (N + P + K) + (MWC + CMC + GMC). At the end of the research, it was found that if natural fertilizer and synthetic chemical fertilizer are mixed in proper proportion, plant growth is higher and when natural fertilizer is given separately, plant growth is less. Chlorophyll is one of the most essential pigments for plants, as the growth of the plant increases, the amount of pigments in it increases considering Photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll- b, Total chlorophyll and Carotenoids.
