1. Planting timeOkra is generally planted in spring, when the temperature is neither high nor low, which is helpful for the rooting and germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings. If sowing in summer, strong light and high temperature will inhibit the development of seedlings and may even kill them. If sown in autumn, the growth period will be shorter, which will affect the harvest. Winter temperatures are too low for the seeds to grow. 2. Seed selection and germinationSelect seeds with larger and fuller grains and soak them in water for 12 hours. After taking it out, wrap it with a wet cloth and place it in an environment of 25-30℃ for germination. Rinse with clean water every day. Generally, most of the seeds will germinate after 3-4 days. 3. Land preparation and fertilizationThe land needs to be prepared before sowing. Although okra has strong adaptability, it grows better in loose and fertile soil. First level the soil, then start applying base fertilizer. Generally, use well-rotted farmyard manure, 5,000 kilograms per mu, and also prepare some compound fertilizer. After applying the base fertilizer, you need to dig furrows and make ridges in preparation for sowing. 4. Seeding and Seedling RaisingBefore sowing okra, water it appropriately to make the soil moist. Then sow the seeds, putting 3-4 seeds in each hole. After sowing, you need to cover it with 2 cm of soil and keep the temperature at around 25°C. Seedlings will emerge in 4-5 days and can be transplanted in one month. 5. Subsequent maintenanceAfter the okra seedlings emerge, it is necessary to weed and thin out the seedlings, leaving only two plants in each hole. Small and weak seedlings need to be removed, and appropriate top dressing should be done. Urea is the most commonly used fertilizer, and 6-7 kg should be applied each time. To prevent the plant from falling over, you can install a support and remove old leaves in time to facilitate lighting and ventilation. |
