First, sowing time
Sowing can only be done when the soil reaches a certain temperature, because our country is vast, so the time for planting okra in different places will be different. For example, in the south, it can be planted in March, but it is still cold in the north at this time, and it will take another month to broadcast. Basically, when the soil temperature reaches 15 degrees, the seeds can germinate well. Pay attention to places with better light.
Second, accelerate germination.
If you want to have a good germination rate, you must treat the seeds to a certain extent. Because its shell is thick, it needs to be soaked before sowing. Soak in warm water for about a day, then take out the seeds to dry and put them in an environment of about 25 degrees. After a day or two, they can germinate. After this treatment, the buds will be more tidy.
Third, sow.
After being treated, the seeds can be used for sowing. Remember to dig deep into the soil so that the seedlings can grow better. Also pay attention to pouring enough water. After planting, it will take about three to five days for the seedlings to be unearthed. Wait until the seedlings grow a leaf, but also pay attention to thinning, choose those more robust seedlings to stay, and some not so good seedlings, get rid of them as soon as possible.
Fourth, management.
If you want to grow good okra, good management is inseparable. Use more nitrogen in front to make it grow more vigorously, and pay attention to phosphorus and potassium later. When the fruit grows faster, more attention should be paid to adding fertilizer, and sufficient fertilizer can make it grow better fruit. Water is also important. Although this crop is drought-tolerant, it won't grow well without enough water. Pay attention to spraying more water from the seedling stage, especially when flowering, because the weather will be hotter and the water consumption will be higher.
