It is not too late to plant okra in July.
Okra can be sown in June and July, when the climate environment is suitable, after planting the seeds can be very good germination, but if the temperature in the area is too high, need to take appropriate measures to reduce the temperature, or a month or two in advance of the sowing.
Before sowing the seeds should be soaked, and reasonable germination, such as 70% of the seeds white before sowing, hole sowing is appropriate, each hole planted 3 seeds, covered with thin soil, watering and moisturizing, so that the seeds will soon be able to seedling.
July is at the highest temperature of the year, the average temperature is about 35 degrees, when planting need to pay attention to the shade, to ensure the normal development of seedlings. Okra is usually ready to harvest two months after planting.
But there is a drawback to planting in July, that is, July planting harvest time in September, when the temperature will have a significant drop, it is likely to cause low yield, if there is nothing to think about this can be planted in July okra.
Okra planting methods:
1, planting
April to August each year can be open-air planting of okra, the year can be eaten, if the greenhouse planting can be sown in advance of harvest. Okra is usually used in the way of direct seeding, before sowing the seeds can be soaked in warm water for a day to germinate treatment.
Okra is not very strict on the soil requirements, but loose and fertile, light enough soil can increase the yield. Before planting deep soil, and then apply enough basal fertilizer, mainly organic fertilizer, okra avoid successive crops.
2, field management
After the okra seedling, we should carry out timely plowing and weeding to prevent weeds from competing with it for nutrients. Every time after the fertilizer to carry out a ploughing, to prevent the land plateau affecting the growth of okra. If the planting density is large, you can cut off the bottom side branches appropriately at a later stage. Okra grows quickly during the fruiting period, if the local storm is more can be inserted in the bamboo pole to prevent collapse.
