Okra, also known as croissant beans, hemp and so on. As a kind of vegetable that can be fried and salad, it is very popular. The market price is high and the market demand is strong. So what are the planting time and conditions of okra? Let's take a look at the editor of Gengsui Tuliu.com.

1. Planting time of okra

Okra is planted in the open air. It is planted in the north and south for four to six months and harvested from July to October. North China is generally planted from mid-late April to May. In the cold areas of the north, greenhouses are usually used to raise seedlings in plastic greenhouses. After early spring and evening frost, they plant in the field. It takes about 60 days from sowing to the formation of the first tender fruit, the whole harvest period lasts 60 to 70 days, and the whole growing period can reach about 120 days.

2. Planting conditions of okra

1. Soil selection

Okra does not pick soil, any soil can basically live, has a wide range of adaptability. However, loam or sandy loam, which is deep, loose and fertile and well drained, is more suitable for growth.

2. Fertilizer and water management

(1) fertilization

Fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage of growth, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is needed in the middle and later stage. However, with the application of too much nitrogen fertilizer, the plant is easy to grow, the flowering and fruiting is delayed, the fruit setting is high, the nitrogen fertilizer is insufficient, and the plant growth is poor, which affects the flowering and fruiting.

(2) moisture

Okra is resistant to drought and moisture, but not to waterlogging. When the soil moisture is too large in the germination stage, it is easy to induce Fusarium wilt of seedlings. As a result, the border was dry, the plant growth was poor and the quality was poor. The soil should always be kept moist.

3. Temperature regulation

Okra likes to be warm and afraid of cold. It has excellent heat resistance. When the temperature is 13 degrees and the ground temperature is about 15 degrees, the seeds will germinate. However, the appropriate temperature for seed germination and growth is 25 to 30 degrees. The monthly average temperature is less than 17 degrees, affecting flowering and fruiting. When the night temperature is lower than 14 degrees, the growth is slow, the plant is short, the leaf is narrow, the flowering is less, and the falling flower is more. When the temperature is 26 to 28 degrees, it will blossom and bear fruit with high fruiting rate, rapid fruit development, high yield and good quality.

4. Light illumination

Okra is particularly sensitive to light conditions and requires long periods of light and sufficient light. Should choose the land with plenty of sunshine, strengthen ventilation and ventilation, pay attention to reasonable close planting, so as not to block each other and affect ventilation and light transmission.
