Lady finger has a good selling point to compared other vegetables. The problem that faced by Lady finger cultivation were not know it well for the population group in Indonesia. The use of organic fertilizer in Lady finger cultivation is expected to increase quantity an quality of Lady finger. This research was conducted in Pembangunan street, Medan Selayang with altitude ± 25 meters above sea surface began from May to September 2016. This research use factorial randomized block design with two varieties Red Lady finger and Green Lady finger, and the second factor was application of organic fertilizer with four kinds without organic fertilizer, compost, kascing fertilizer, chicken manure fertilizer. The result of this research showed that varieties were significantly effect to plants length parameter on 10-14 weeks after planting, flowering date, number of fruits per plant, number of fruit of plot, weight of fruits per plant, diameter of fruit, length of fruit and wet weight of plant. Application of various of organic fertilizers were significant effect to the plant height parameter on 10-14 weeks after planting, leaf amount, number of fruits per plant, flowering date, number of fruits per plot, and weight of fruit per plant. Interaction of varieties and application various of organic fertilizers were significant effect to number of leave parameter on 11 weeks after planting, length parameter on 10-14 weeks after planting and wet weight of plant. Keywords: drying time, soaking time, cryopreservation, rosella seeds 1. Introduction Okra or Abelmoschus esculantus L. Moench is a vegetable plant originating from India known as bhindi, while in foreign countries okra is known as lady fingers. In Indonesia, this plant is still relatively rare, only in a few places and big cities this vegetable is found. The scarcity of okra is not because growing it is difficult, but because people are reluctant to consume it, because okra is a fruit that secretes mucus because it contains musilane. Whereas in the mucus that's most of the benefits and efficacy of okra fruit is stored. Okra also has a fairly high value compared to other vegetables. (Ministy of Environmental and Forests, 2009). Among the many known legumes and vegetables, okra has the highest nutritional value. According to the DIY Provincial Food Security and Extension Agency (2003), every 100 grams of okra contains 22 cal, 1.87 mg protein, 0.21 mg fat, 4.51 mg carbohydrates, 77 mg  ISSN 2302-9625 Agripreneur, Vol.10, No. 1 June 2021: pp 01-09 2 calcium, 0.28 mg iron, 16.3 mg vitamin C, 92.57% water compared to plants. Gambas has a nutritional value of 18 cal, protein 0.8 mg, fat 0.2 mg, carbohydrates 4.1, calcium 19 mg, iron 0.9 mg, Vitamin C 8 mg, water 94.5%. Okra seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. Okra is a green vegetable that is rich in dietary fiber. Apart from fiber, okra also contains 1.0 mg of glutathione and iron in 100 g of young okra. Fiber is very important for the body because it can prevent constipation (difficult bowel movements), obesity, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), diabetes (diabetes), and colon cancer (large intestine) (Agricultural Information Ciawi Bogor, 2005). Okra which is starting to develop in Indonesia and has been circulating in the Indonesian market today is green okra and red okra. These two varieties of okra have the same nutritional content, but these two varieties of okra have their own characteristics. Green okra has a slightly bland sweet taste, is smaller in size, has a slightly soft flesh texture, and is high in fiber. In red okra, the taste is not too sweet, the flesh texture is soft, larger and longer than green okra (Ministry of Agriculture, 2005). Young okra red burgundy varieties contain protein, carotene and several minerals that are needed by the human body. From the results of research on the nutritional value of vegetables in West Kalimantan, it turns out that red okra contains carotene (pro-vitamin A) and iron which is not inferior to green okra (Craig, 2007). 1983). At this temperature, plant material almost completely does not undergo metabolic processes so that the storage period becomes unlimited, which can reach 20 years. The addition of cryoprotectants can maintain the integrity of the membrane and increase the osmotic potential of the medium so that the fluid in the cell flows out and dehydration occurs. (Hardaningsih et al., 2012). Okra fruit in its utilization as a vegetable can be consumed directly without having to do processing first, in other words it can be consumed in a raw and fresh state. In this case the use of pesticides is not recommended because the residue of the pesticides used will affect the quality and quality of the vegetables. Utilization of organic matter in cultivation activities does not cause future damage to soil, microorganisms and the environment. Organic materials that can be used in okra cultivation are organic compost, vermicompost, and chicken coop compost. Based on research by Syafrina (2009) stated that the application of organic compost had a significant effect on plant height, number of branches, canopy dry weight, root dry weight, number of pods planted and number of pods per plot on soybean plants. Organic matter in the form of compost is the decomposition of plant biomass that has been described through the activity of soil microorganisms. Kascing is a good organic material for optimal plant growth because in addition to improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, especially in less fertile soils, it also does not have a negative effect on the environment. The compost produced comes from decomposition by worms. Nutrient content and chemical properties of vermicompost are more diverse than compost and other organic fertilizers (Agricultural Research and Development Agency, 2001) Agripreneur: Jurnal Pertanian Agribisnis ISSN 2302-9668  Ria Anindi Antika Barus-Response of Growth and Production of Two Varieties of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculantus L.

Materials and Methods This research was carried out on community land construction road No.22, Medan Selayang sub-district with an altitude of ± 25 meters above sea level. This research was conducted from May to September 2016. The materials used in this study were okra seeds from the okra seed distributor of the Bandung Throne Complex, Green Garibar and Red Burgundy varieties, compost, vermicompost, chicken manure, vegetable pesticides, NPK fertilizer (15: 15: 15), black polybag size 40 x 50 cm (10 kg of soil), seedlings, topsoil, water for watering plants and other materials that support this research. The tools used in this study were hoe, meter, sieve, scales, gembor, treatment label paper and sample markers, markers, ruler, digital caliper, calculator, stationery, oven, knife and other tools that support this research. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RAK) with two factors. The results of the analysis of variance showed a significant effect, then continued with the Mean Difference Test based on the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level (Steel and Torrie, 1989). Parameters observed were: Flowering age (DAT), Plant Height (cm), Number of Leaves (pieces), Number of Fruits Planted (fruit), Fresh Fruit Weight per Plant (g), Number of Fruits per plot (fruit), Fruit weight fresh weight per plot (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), crown wet weight (g), root wet weight (g), crown dry weight (g) and root dry weight (g). 3. Results and Discussion Results Based on the observational data and the results of variance, it was known that the varietal treatment was significantly different between the green and red varieties on the parameters of plant height 10-14 WAP, flowering age, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per plot, number of fruit per plant, number of fruit per plot, fruit length, fruit diameter, canopy wet weight. The treatment of various types of organic fertilizers significantly affected the parameters of plant height 10-14 WAP, number of leaves 10-14 WAP, flowering age, fruit weight per plot, fruit weight per plot, number of fruit per plant, number of fruit per plot. The interaction between varietal treatment and the application of various types of organic fertilizers had a significant effect on the parameters of plant height 10-12 WAP, number of leaves 11 WAP, canopy wet weight. Plant Height (cm) Based on the observational data and the results of the variance, it was found that the treatment of varieties was significantly different between the green and red varieties on the plant height of okra 10-14 WAP. The application of various types of organic fertilizers significantly affected plant height 10-14 WAP. The interaction between varietal treatment  ISSN 2302-9625 Agripreneur, Vol.10, No. 1 June 2021: pp 01-09 4 and the application of various types of organic fertilizers significantly affected plant height 10-12 WAP.
