How to plant okra, planting time and management methods

Okra growth environment requirements

Okra prefers a warm growing environment and has strong heat resistance but poor cold resistance. When caring for it, the temperature needs to be kept between 25-30 degrees, which is more conducive to its growth and development. Its per-acre output value is relatively high, about 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms.

Okra planting time

Okra is not cold-resistant, so it must be planted in April-June. In North China, it is usually planted in April-May. These two time periods are more suitable for growth. After sowing, the growth rate is relatively fast and can be harvested quickly.

How to grow okra

The planting method of okra is relatively simple. First, you need to prepare the land, and then use relatively loose and fertile soil for planting. The seeds need to be germinated before planting, so that the growth rate after planting is relatively fast. During the maintenance period, water it in time and prevent diseases and pests.

1. When planting okra, you need to use loose and fertile soil, and deep plowing and land preparation are required before planting. Good fertilizer and water management is required after planting.

2. If you want to increase the yield of okra, you need to use better seeds when planting and apply fertilizer in time, so that the yield will be higher.

3. It is best to germinate okra before sowing, so that it will germinate faster, and the temperature environment should be suitable at normal times.

Precautions for cultivation and management of okra

When okra is growing, you need to pay attention to it and water it in moderation. It is not very cold-resistant, so you must avoid water accumulation, otherwise it will affect its growth and development. In addition, you need to pruned it regularly during maintenance.
