Okra is a very popular vegetable in recent years, the nutritional value of okra is very high, it is very beneficial to human health. Therefore, the planting area of our country is constantly expanding, and there are more and more planting personnel. However, there are many novice growers do not know how to grow, in fact, growing okra is relatively simple. Control planting density, do a good job of water and fertilizer management and other work, the following by the editor to introduce some of the key points of okra planting techniques!

1. Planting density

Okra likes temperature and is afraid of low temperature. It will die in less than a day when it encounters frost. It has a great demand for light and is not suitable for planting in a shady environment. Therefore, we must control the planting density when planting, if the planting is too dense, it will cause okra plants to block each other from the sun, affect the photosynthesis of okra, and lead to poor growth of okra. Therefore, we should not plant too dense when planting, to ensure that each okra has sufficient growth space to provide sufficient light for okra growth. Enhance the photosynthetic capacity of okra and increase the accumulation of photosynthetic matter in the plant.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Okra plant root growth ability is relatively developed, nutrient absorption capacity is strong, so the demand for fertilizer and water is also relatively large. When the okra plant grows to about 45 cm, it is necessary to apply fertilizer properly and apply fertilizer evenly around the plant using the method of ring application. Topdressing is combined with ploughing and weeding, and then topdressing again when the first batch of fruit is harvested. Spraying foliar fertilizer properly in the later stage of growth can improve the growth ability of leaves and prevent premature senescence. Okra has strong drought tolerance and can be watered less in the seedling stage, but it should be watered about once a week to keep the soil moist in summer. Can not be carried out in the high temperature period, to avoid root damage, in rainy days should pay attention to do a good job of drainage, to avoid retting roots and dead seedlings.

3. Adjust the plant

In order to stabilize the soil and improve the lodging resistance of okra, a ploughing and soil cultivation should be carried out before closing the row of okra plants. You can choose a bamboo pole of about 1 meter to be inserted vertically near the plant, and then tie the plant to the bamboo pole to prevent lodging. Okra plants have luxuriant branches and leaves. If they are not pruned in time, the plants will be too closed and affect the growth of okra. And okra results are mainly based on the main vine, so it is necessary to do a good job of pruning, avoid consuming too much nutrition, concentrate nutrients on the main vine, and improve the fruit rate. Remove the lateral branches in time and remove the old and weak leaves at the base of the plant and the leaves suffering from diseases and insect pests after harvest, so as to promote ventilation and reduce the incidence of disease.

4. Timely harvest

The harvest time of okra has certain requirements, can not be harvested too early and too late, too early will reduce the yield of okra and affect the planting efficiency. If harvested too late, it will enhance the fiber in okra, resulting in aging meat, insufficient quality and loss of commodity value. Usually the best harvest time is about a week after Xiehua, preferably when the pods grow to about 9 cm, when the quality of okra is the best. When harvesting, you should cut it with scissors, not by hand, so as to prevent injury to the branches of the plant.

In order to ensure the yield during harvest, we should use the pods in the lower part of the plant to keep the seeds. Harvest to store it should be placed in a low-temperature environment, the temperature is too high, then it is easy to lead to a variety of pods aging, affecting the value of goods. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
