How is okra grown? Okra Cultivation How to grow okra

1. Select a suitable planting plot.

Okra is a light-loving, temperature-loving, heat-tolerant, cold-tolerant crop, the requirements for soil conditions are not very strict, sandy soil, clay soil can be, however, the soil is fertile, the ability to store water and fertilizer is strong, the watering and drainage is convenient, and the plot with sufficient sunlight is more conducive to the growth of okra. Avoid heavy stubble, planting the previous crop crops for leafy vegetables, root vegetable stubble is better, which is conducive to the healthy growth of its plants and the control of pests and diseases.

Second, the plot is prepared and sufficient base fertilizer is applied.

Okra is a fertilizer-loving crop, which has a large demand for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients, and needs to be reasonably applied. When preparing the land, about 4500kg of fully decayed and ripe high-quality farmhouse fertilizer is applied per mu, 50 superphosphate and about 20 potassium chloride are applied, and they are evenly applied to the surface after being fully mixed evenly, and then turned into the soil layer through cultivated land and raked to level the furrow. It is advisable to plant furrows with high furrows, which are conducive to watering and drainage.

3. Determine the density for direct sowing.

The live broadcast can be seeded, sprinkled, and hole-seeded, and generally mainly acupuncture-based. When sowing, the ditch should be opened on the furrow according to the row spacing of about 45 cm, and the depth is mastered at about 3 cm, and then the hole sowing is carried out according to the interval of about 40 cm in the sowing ditch, and each hole is sown 3 grains, and the soil is covered in time after sowing, and the thickness is appropriate to 2 cm. After raking the flat furrow, carry out appropriate watering.

Mulching can also be applied to promote emergence.

After the seedlings are gathered, the seedlings should be checked in time, the seedlings should be interspersed, and the seedlings should be replenished. The seedling replenishment method can be replanted or replanted. When the true leaves reach 2 3 pieces, the seedlings are fixed, and 1 2 plants can be left in each hole.

Fourth, timely cultivation and weeding, strengthen fertilizer and water management.

Cultivating the soil is done before flowering, and then by tillage to loosen the soil after each topdressing and watering. Before the closure, it is necessary to combine top dressing and watering to implement cultivated soil to prevent lodging during the flood control period. Weeding should be done in a timely manner throughout the growing period.

In terms of fertilizer and water management, it is necessary to top dressing and watering in a timely manner. After the seedlings are fixed, a top dressing can be carried out, and 800 1000 kg of human manure and urine can be used per mu plus the same amount of water. At the beginning of fruiting, about 8000 kg of human feces can be applied between the rows of plants.

In the future, it can be topdressed once every half a month to 20 days, and about 5 kg of urea per mu can be applied, and an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be applied at the same time.

Less water is required at the seedling stage, but excessive drought is prevented. In the flowering and fruiting period, it is necessary to irrigate appropriately according to the soil moisture, which can be irrigated once every half a month to keep the soil moist. In the flood season, it is necessary to pay attention to drainage and flood prevention.

5. Control plant density and timely control of pests and diseases.

When the density of plants is large, pruning and leaf picking should be carried out to increase ventilation and light transmittance. The side branches at the base can be appropriately pruned or leaves can be plucked. After the young pods are harvested, the lower two leaves are retained, and the old leaves under them can be removed. According to the occurrence of pests and diseases, corresponding measures should be taken in a timely manner to prevent and control them.

Sowing seedlings, usually propagated using the method of sowing, preferably in April, has a very adaptable seed and will germinate in a week. Soak the seeds with water for 24 hours before sowing for germination, wait for the seeds to break about 60% of the mouth for sowing, and cover 2cm of soil after sowing. When the seedlings have grown to 3-4 leaves, they are ready to be planted.

Propagation method: Okra is generally propagated by sowing seeds.

Temperature: Soak okra seeds in warm water at 25 degrees Celsius for germination. It will germinate in about 2 to 3 days.

Then the germinated okra can be planted in the soil.

To make sure the okra soil is moist, water it once a day, and then wait until the okra grows to an inch long, and then you can fertilize it.

Many flower friends don't know how okra is planted, okra can be sown in late spring and early summer, you need to soak the seeds in water for half a day, so that the seeds can better take root and germinate, and then sow the seeds in the soil suitable for planting, spray some water appropriately, maintain the moisture of the soil, and wait for a week after the seeds can take root and germinate.

Okra has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and can be sown all year round, but it is best to sow in late spring and early summer, this time period is the season when okra grows most vigorously, and it is also the season with the highest survival rate of sowing.

Usually, you can get seeds from the fruit after the fruiting period in August, or you can buy okra seeds directly, because the shell of okra seeds is relatively hard, so before planting, you need to soak the seeds in clean water for half a day to soak the shell softly.

When planting okra, we need to choose loose and deep soil, good ventilation and drainage, good fertilizer retention, and high fertility, acidic sandy soil, we can choose red soil, pastoral soil, fine sand according to the ratio of 5:4:1 mixing, in which an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer is added, increase the fertility of the soil.

It is necessary to dig a small pit in the soil, sow the treated seeds in the small pit, cover the pit with fine soil to maintain the moisture of the soil and air, put it in a cool place, or put it in a place of astigmatism, and wait for the okra seeds to take root and germinate.

Okra needs to control the temperature at 20 25 after planting, you need to wait for 3 5 days to water once, apply organic fertilizer once at a time, give it plenty of sunlight, if the sun is too strong, you need to water it a lot, do not move to a cool place to breed.

Okra in the seedling period, easy to suffer from pests and diseases, affecting the natural growth of okra, usually need to regularly clean up the surrounding weeds, check the branches and leaves of okra, but also spray insecticides, carbendazim and other agents to prevent and control, wait for a month to prune it once.

1. Okra likes warmth and is afraid of frost, so the whole growth period should be arranged in the 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.

2. Okra should not be cropped continuously, nor can it be connected with fruits and vegetables, so as to avoid the occurrence of root-knot nematodes. It is best to choose root vegetables, leafy vegetables, etc. for the front crop. The soil is more suitable for loam with deep soil layer, fertile and loose, water retention and fertilizer retention.

After the harvest of the stubble before winter, deep ploughing in time, 75,000 kg of rotting manure and 300 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer were applied per hectare, and the rake was mixed evenly for furrowing. Open field cultivation method: row spacing 40 cm, plant spacing 12 cm, furrow width 50 cm.

If planted in a single row at the edge of the field, beside the road, and by the river, the plant spacing is 12 cm, and there are 3 plants per hole, which is ventilated and light-transmitting, and easy to manage.
