Awabi from planting time, germination, soil, sowing, field management and other aspects of sowing seedlings.

1, planting time

Okra is more suitable for planting in late spring and early summer (May), and can be harvested from July to October. However, the climate is different between the north and south, the specific time will be different, specifically, the south in March sowing, the north in May sowing, and coastal regions in April.

2, germination

The okra seeds into the water soaked for 24 hours, and then put out into the wet cloth in the germination of 2 to 3 days, the seed whitening reached about 70% of the time will be able to be sown.

3, soil

Okraut is a taproot vegetable, it is best to direct seeding, seedling can also be. Before sowing the ground, do not and legume, eggplant crops, 5 tons of manure per acre, 50 pounds of composite fertilizer, turn over and rake flat into flat beds, to be sown.

4, sowing

Sowing a day before planting bed watering, room temperature soak the seeds for 24 hours, soak the seeds a little bit after drying, the seed surface has no moisture can be sown. Okra plant is very large, sowing density can not be too small, generally speaking, plant spacing are 60cm can be, if you are worried about bad seeding can be a planting hole to put two seeds, after sowing mulch 1cm or so, mulch film insulation, about four or five days will be able to come out of the seedling.

5, field management

After the okra seedlings and then before the flowering of the main plow hoeing to promote the growth of the root system, if the particular drought can be watered small water. Okra blossom into the rapid growth period, keep the soil moist, with the water fertilizer, pods to nitrogen-based fertilizer supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, pods in full bloom, mainly the application of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, each time the fertilizer after the ploughing, proper soil cultivation, prevention and control of fall of okra. Okra growth is very vigorous, generally can grow to plant height of more than two meters, if too exuberant, you can cut off some of the leaves as well as plant internal branching.
