Management methods of okra at seedling stage

The management of okra in planting is very important. Okra has different management methods in different growth stages. Therefore, when we plant, we should adjust the management method reasonably according to the actual growth situation of okra. The management at seedling stage is particularly important, which directly affects the yield and the quality of okra. So the editor brought you the management method of okra seedling stage today, let's take a look at it!

1. Water management

Okra likes to grow in warm places and has strong heat resistance, drought and humidity resistance. But the ability to resist low temperature is relatively poor, and it is not resistant to waterlogging. If there is too much water in the okra seedling stage. It is so easy to cause the rot of okra seedlings. However, water should not be too little. If there is too little water, the growth ability of okra plants will decline, resulting in insufficient quality. Therefore, in the okra seedling stage, we must keep the soil moist to meet the water needs of okra growth. Then after harvesting okra, it is necessary to deeply plough around 30cm to ripen the loose soil and improve the water and moisture conservation of the soil.

2. Seed soaking and fertilization

In order to improve the germination rate of okra seeds, we have to soak the seeds before planting. First soak the seeds in warm water of about 30 degrees for 10 hours, then take out and dry and germinate at a temperature of about 28 degrees for two days. When 50% of the seeds are found to be white, they can be sown. In order to provide sufficient nutrition for okra before sowing, it is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer, mainly farm manure and supplemented by compound fertilizer. Mix it with the soil and turn it into the soil capacity. Then make the border and dig holes to prepare for sowing, sow about two seeds in each sowing hole, and then cover the fine soil after sowing to strengthen management and promote germination.

3. The seedlings are fixed

When okra seedlings grow the first leaf, and time seedlings, stay strong to weak. When three true leaves are grown, the seedlings can be fixed, and one seedling can be planted in each seedling hole. After fixing the seedlings, it is necessary to do a good job of mid-tillage to improve the temperature of the soil so as to achieve the purpose of water conservation and weeding. And in the seedling stage should often weed, reasonable soil cultivation, enhance the anti-lodging ability of okra. As I just said, okra has a strong ability to withstand moisture. Therefore, we should properly water the seedlings after emergence, and then water the seedlings well to keep the soil moist and improve the survival rate of seedlings.

4. Pest control

There are many diseases and insect pests in okra seedling stage, and if it is not managed properly, it will suffer seriously. Among them, common diseases and insect pests are virus diseases, bridge insects and so on. No matter what the diseases and insect pests are, in the process of planting, we should pay attention to do a good job of management, give priority to prevention, reduce the incidence of disease and minimize the loss. When we are planting, we should often observe the growth ability of okra, so that diseases and insect pests can be detected and treated early. If there is a disease, then we should check it in time and then deal with it accordingly.

The above is a brief introduction to the management methods of okra seedling stage. The seedling management of okra is very important, we must pay more attention to it when planting okra, otherwise it is easy to cause losses and affect the planting efficiency. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
