The latest way to increase the yield of okra

Okra is a very popular vegetable in recent years, and it is also a very green and healthy vegetable. Due to the increasing consumption of okra in the market, the planting area of okra in China is also gradually expanding. So what if you want to be high-yielding when planting? How can we increase the output of okra? Let's take a brief look at it.

1. Variety selection

Okra is not a native vegetable in China, so there are not many varieties of okra in China, so it is relatively simple to choose varieties. In order to improve the yield of okra, the first thing we should consider is the okra varieties suitable for local cultivation in our country, and the second is to see which variety has the highest yield and which variety has the highest quality. then choose the okra varieties with the best economic value in the current market to plant.

2. Planting time

The planting time of okra also has a great impact on the yield of okra. Planting too late or too early will reduce the yield of okra. Okra is best sown in spring, but there is a big difference in temperature between the north and the south of our country. It is best to plant it in March in the south, May in the north, and April in the coastal areas. At the right planting time, okra has higher emergence rate and survival rate, better growth and higher yield in the later stage.

3. Adjust the density

If we want to have a high yield after planting okra, we also need to adjust the planting density. The first is to ensure the full use of land resources, and the second is to ensure proper ventilation and light transmittance. Then we'd better keep the row spacing of okra at 40 to 50 centimeters, and the plant spacing should be 35 to 40 centimeters, which should be planted reasonably according to the fertility of the selected planting land.

4. Reasonable branch thinning

Branch and leaf arrangement and plant adjustment are also very effective in increasing the yield of okra. When okra grows to 30 centimeters high, we need to remove the heart leaves from its top to promote the growth of branches. If okra has too few branches, then the yield will not be very high, because it has very few fruiting branches. In the process of promoting branch growth, it is also necessary to properly adjust the plant shape, control the number of branches and sort out the overdense or weak branches and overgrown branches. In fact, to put it simply, it is necessary to reasonably control the permeability between the branches and improve the fruit rate.

5. Scientific topdressing

Okra is a deep-rooted plant, which has a strong ability to absorb nutrients and needs a lot of nutrients. If the soil fertility is not enough, it will cause short plants, malnutrition, and seriously affect the yield of okra. Because of the lack of soil fertility, after the nutrients are absorbed by the roots, they mainly promote the growth of the roots, unable to supply nutrients to the branches and leaves, let alone bloom. Therefore, we must apply enough fertilizer, if there is not enough, it is tantamount to giving for nothing.

In fact, the key to increasing the yield of okra lies in the improvement of planting technology. If we have a better understanding of the growth characteristics of okra and master more professional planting techniques, then the yield of okra will naturally be higher.
