When is okra planted? When is the best time to plant okra?

Okra likes warmth and is afraid of frost, and the whole growth period should be arranged in a frost-free period, and the flowering and fruiting period should be in the warm and humid season in various places. Cultivated in the open field, it is sown in April and June and harvested in July and October in all parts of the north and south. In northern China, sowing is generally from mid to late April to May.

In the cold areas of the north, solar greenhouses and plastic greenhouses are commonly used to raise seedlings in a centralized manner, and then they are planted in the field after the early spring and late frost.

Okra (scientific name: Abelmoschus esculentus: also known as okra, carob, coffee sculent, hairy eggplant, yellow hollyhock, also known as "foreign pepper".

Native to Africa, it was introduced to China by India in the early 20th century, and is mostly found in southern China. Its edible part is a fruit pod, divided into two kinds: green and red, the taste is crisp and juicy, smooth and not greasy, the fragrance is unique, and the seeds can be pressed for oil.

It prefers warm climates, is not cold-tolerant, and is cultivated in deep, fertile soil and sunny land. Okra is generally sown in March, and germination can occur after 3-5 days, and the seedling period will last for more than 40 days, and it will begin to bear fruit in May. The growth cycle is generally more than 7 months.

Okra prefers warm and sunny environments. Its cold tolerance varies slightly depending on the species, hibiscus okra and multiflora can overwinter in the open field in Beijing, and red okra needs to be covered to protect the winter, or the roots of the locophobia need to be dug out.

Okra is stored in a cold room that does not freeze for wintering, so they are often planted in large pots. The Yangtze River basin can overwinter in the open field. The requirements for the soil are not strict. But not drought tolerant.

Many people want to plant okra at home, in fact, okra planting time and method is very simple, it can be planted in spring 4 June, prepare fertile soil as a substrate, soak the seeds in clean water for 10 12 hours to germinate, plant the seeds of okra, wait for half a month and then water it once in the morning and evening, but also give it plenty of sunshine.

1. Okra is planted in spring 4 June.

Okra can be planted in the south in April and June, and planted in the north can be sown in April and May, and it needs to be given plenty of sunlight when planting in the north, and the ambient temperature is controlled above 17, and it can be picked in July and October after careful cultivation.

Second, the planting method of okra.

1. Soil demand.

Okra planting time and method.

2. Soak and induce germination.

We can get seeds from okra's ripe fruits, or we can buy okra seeds, soak the seeds in clean water for 10 to 12 hours, and then put them in a cool place to control the temperature at about 25 a day, which can promote the seeds to take root and germinate quickly.

3. Sow seeds and germinate.

Okra planting time and method.

First of all, dig a small pit in the soil, sprinkle the processed seeds in 3 or 4 small pits, cover a layer of soil, and spray an appropriate amount of water on the soil to ensure the moisture of the soil.

4. Post-planting management.

After the okra is sown, you need to wait for half a month, water the okra once a day in the morning and evening, and when the temperature is too high in summer, it is necessary to spray water all around, and apply organic fertilizer every 15 to 20 days to provide sufficient nutrients for okra seedlings.

Okra is suitable for planting at three times of the year, in early spring, in summer, and in autumn it is the best time to plant okra.

In northern China, sowing is generally from late April to mid-May. In the cold winter areas of the north, seedlings can be raised in time lamp greenhouses, and spring frost can also be transplanted to the fields.

Okra is generally sown from April to June every year, when planting okra, it needs to be provided with sufficient light, and it also needs to be watered once a day in the morning and evening in accordance with the principle of "seeing dry and wet", waiting for okra to germinate, and fertilizing it 1-2 times every other month to promote the growth and development of okra.

1. Planting time

Okra is generally planted between April and June every year, because the humidity and temperature of the environment at this time are the most suitable for plant growth, and the specific sowing time should be adjusted according to the local weather conditions and ecological environment, such as in the north, it needs to be sown between April and May.

2. Soil requirements

Okra is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soils with strong drainage and air permeability, and can use humus, sediment, vermiculite, and perlite in a 1:1:1:1:

The ratio of 1 is mixed and prepared, and some organic base fertilizer can also be applied to the soil before planting the plant to improve the fertility of the soil and promote the growth of okra.

3. Seed treatment

To plant okra, you need to choose healthy, disease-free and full seeds, and then soak the seeds in warm water at about 40 degrees for a day, which will help the seeds take root and germinate faster, and then you can plant the seeds in the prepared soil, and water them once to keep the soil slightly moist.

4. Maintenance management

To water okra, you need to water it once a day in the morning and evening in accordance with the principle of "seeing dry and wet", so as to avoid the plant drying up and yellowing due to lack of fertilization, and waiting for okra to germinate, you also need to fertilize it 1-2 times every other month according to the growth state of the plant to promote the growth of okra strongly.

Okra is a vegetable that can be cultivated in spring, summer and autumn, and can be sown in March in the south and sold in China, while in North China it will not be sown until mid-April, so that it can be harvested around June and August, but it is still more suitable for planting in the south. The origin of okra is in India, and it is currently distributed in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and other places.

Before planting, it is best to choose a place with high terrain and flat terrain as the planting area, and you need to do a good job of germination in advance before planting, because the size of the seeds is relatively small, so it is recommended to use a machine to sow seeds.

Okra planting period.

Okra is a vegetable that can be cultivated in spring, summer, and autumn, and can be sown in March in the south and in mid-April in the north, so that it can be harvested around June and August, but it is still more suitable for planting in the south.

How to grow okra.

Okra, also known as okra, originated in India, is currently distributed in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and other places, and the main production areas in China are Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other provinces.

1. Arrange the location

To grow okra, you need to choose fertile, loose soil, deep ploughing before planting, so that the fruit can be more tender and crisp, and add appropriate farm manure and compound fertilizer to the soil.

2. Seed selection and germination

To plant okra, you must choose a variety that suits the local area, soak it in warm water before sowing and promote germination, wait until the bud skin is broken, and then plant it, and keep the soil moist after planting.

3. Plant seedlings

When planting okra seedlings, you can directly sprinkle them in the soil, do a good job of raising seedlings in the later stage, and bring soil when transplanting, so that it is better to survive, and the row spacing is about 20 cm.

1. Okra can be cultivated in spring, summer and autumn, generally sown in spring, and can be harvested in June and August. Okra is more suitable for planting in the south, it is not cold tolerant, especially afraid of frost, especially during the flowering and fruiting period to keep the environment warm and moist.

2. First of all, choose okra seeds, there are many varieties of okra seeds, there are tall and short varieties. Individuals can buy according to their own preferences, and at the same time, they must choose excellent seeds, such as choosing seeds with relatively short varieties with strong lodging resistance. And it is best to germinate the seeds before planting, soak the seeds in warm water of about 35 and soak them for 10 to 11 hours, so that the seeds of okra are easier to germinate.

3. Soil selection: okra does not have high requirements for soil, and the soil is generally loose, fertile, with good drainage and permeability, which is more suitable for growth. It is watered every three days or so after sowing, and fertilizer is applied once after sowing.

The use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is evenly spread, so that the effect can promote the growth of okra seeds after emergence. Okra has a well-developed root system, so its nutrient requirements are also higher, and it is more resistant to drought, so it can be watered once a week.

4. Later field management: If it is okra with spring seeds, then there is more rain in summer, then it is necessary to take drainage measures at all times to prevent waterlogging, so as to avoid rotten roots due to water accumulation. When okra grows vigorously, it is necessary to remove weeds and some diseased branches and weak branches in time, and at the same time ensure the ventilation between okra, which can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.

When it comes to harvesting, the fruit can be picked when it grows to about 8, and the okra at this time is particularly delicious, the flesh is delicate and delicious, and the picking is best carried out in the morning and evening when the weather is cooler.

As an increasingly popular health vegetable, okra is now a popular health vegetable, many health people like it, and some friends may not be used to its taste, but because of its high nutritional value, they will insist on eating. So what is the time and method of okra cultivation?

1. Planting time.

The day before sowing, the planting furrow is watered thoroughly, soaked at room temperature for 24 hours, and dried a little after soaking, and the seed surface can be sown if there is no moisture. The north and south are mostly sown in April to June, and North China is generally sown at the end of April and early May.

Second, the appropriate temperature.

Okra can be planted in the north and south, the most suitable growth temperature is 25-30, the general ground temperature is above 12 when sowing, pay attention to choose a sunny place for planting. Okra has a well-developed root system, and the requirements for * soil are not strict, and it can grow normally in sticky* or sandy soil*.

3. Sowing density.

The okra plant is very large, and the sowing density should not be too small, generally speaking, the plant row spacing is 60cm. If you are worried about the poor emergence of seedlings, you can put two seeds in a planting hole, cover about *1cm after sowing, cover with mulch film to keep warm and moisturize, and the seedlings will emerge in about four or five days.

4. Field management.

After okra emerges and before flowering, it is mainly used to cultivate and hoe grass to promote root growth, and if it is particularly dry, you can water it with a small amount of water. Okra enters the rapid growth period after flowering, at this time it is necessary to keep the soil moist, top dressing with water, nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer in the pod stage, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and the pod is mainly topdressing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, and the cultivation is carried out after each top dressing, and the appropriate cultivation is carried out to prevent and control okra lodging.

6. Scientific harvesting.

The tender fruits taste the best 4 days after the okra flowers, and about 7 days after the flowers, when the young pods grow to 10cm, they should be harvested in time, otherwise it is easy to get old. From the beginning of the harvest, it is harvested almost once a day, and fresh okra is eaten from the continuous pods in July to the time of frost in October.

To sum up, the time and method of okra planting, friends who want to plant okra should not blindly follow the trend, but also consider whether your local area is really suitable for planting.

Planting method: If it is planted indoors, choose a variety with a lower plant height, the seed shell of okra is harder, in order to increase the germination rate, soak it in water overnight in an environment of 25 -30, and after the okra seeds are soaked in water, the shell becomes soft and easier to germinate. The soil should be vegetable garden soil, add organic fertilizer and fine sand, and the ratio is 6:3:

1。Do not plant densely.

Okra planting process can be applied 3 times of fertilizer, one is in the early stage of planting, add organic fertilizer (that is, base fertilizer) to the potting soil. second, after the emergence and planting, apply a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer; 30. Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once after flowering.
