ABSTRACT: The study investigated the effects of individual and combined applications of three commonly used pesticides—dichlorvos, dimethoate, and cypermethrin—on the growth and biochemical responses of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) plants. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the College of Science, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Nigeria. A completely randomized design was employed, utilizing eight treatment groups: a control group (sprayed with water) and seven groups exposed to single pesticides or combinations. Growth parameters, including plant height, stem girth, and relative water content (RWC), were monitored over a four.....
