Okra, also known as okra and coffee Huang Kui, is commonly known as Crotalaria and Melon, while in Pingxiang, west of Jiangxi Province, locals call it "foreign pepper". So how to plant okra, and what planting methods can be used to achieve high yield? Today, Xiao Wang will give you some experience.

Growth habit of okra:

Okra is warm and fond of light, heat-resistant and cold-resistant. It not only needs long-term illumination, but also is resistant to drought, moisture and water. Okra has strong adaptability to soil, but it is best to use loam or sandy loam. The soil is deep, fertile and loose, which can keep water and fertilizer. It likes warm, humid and sunny environment, is not cold-resistant, afraid of water and wind, and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile and well-drained sandy loam.

High-yield planting method of okra:

1. Seed soaking with chemicals: The seed coat of okra is hard. Soaking the seed with new high-fat film for 6 hours before sowing and then putting it at 26℃ to accelerate germination can keep warm, keep moisture and absorb swelling, which can repel underground pests and diseases, isolate virus infection, and do not affect the function of germination and absorption. It is helpful to timely sowing to strengthen breathing intensity and improve seed germination rate.

2. Seedling cultivation: spraying new high-fat film in time after planting can preserve moisture, reduce moisture evaporation and suffocation, isolate the source of diseases and pests, and improve the emergence rate. After the emergence of okra, the seedlings should be thinned in time, the sick and weak seedlings should be removed and a new high-fat film should be sprayed to form a polymer film to isolate pests and diseases.

3. Fertilizer and water management: In the hot summer, okra is at the peak of the harvest season, and it needs a lot of water. Avoid root damage at high temperature. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season to prevent seedling death. In the seedling, fruiting and fruiting season, you should also spray photosynthetic nutrient film fertilizer on the leaves three times to promote good yield.

4. Nutrition supplement: after flowering and fruiting, spray fruits and vegetables to strengthen the fruit, accelerate the plant growth, thicken the fruit stalk, smooth the transportation of water and nutrients, improve the flow of nutrients, and promote the development and expansion of fruits.

5. Pest control: there are fewer diseases and more pests in okra. Spraying the whole garden with tree care elements and absorbing ultraviolet rays from the sun will inhibit the generation and transmission of airborne viruses in plants and enhance the plant and health index.
