Fertilization time and method of okra

Okra is a very popular vegetable, which has a very large planting area in China. Fertilization is essential when we plant okra. If the fertilizer is not applied properly, it will have a great impact on the yield and growth of okra. So how to fertilize okra? The following editor brings you the fertilization time and methods of okra, let's have a look!

1. Base fertilizer

Base fertilizer is the most basic and important fertilizer for planting okra. When we prepare the land, we have to do it together with the application of basic fertilizer. The main purpose is to ensure that the soil has the most basic nutrition for okra growth and to ensure the normal rooting and sprouting of okra. When applying base fertilizer, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of base fertilizer, mainly farm fertilizer, combined with appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. Farm manure should be fully mature, otherwise it may cause fertilizer damage and cause rotten seeds and seedlings, so we must pay more attention to it.

2. Qi Miao fertilizer

Qi seedling fertilizer was applied after okra seeds were sown and emerged. Because the germination rate of okra seeds is not consistent, so the seedlings are uneven after emergence, resulting in some seedlings growing fast and some slow, which is very disadvantageous to the yield. So we have to start fattening about three days after okra seeds emerge. To ensure that the seedlings are full of seedlings, the fertilizer of seedlings is generally based on urea, usually applying 100kg per mu or so. The main method of fertilization is spraying to ensure that the seedlings are fertilized evenly, grow normally and improve the rate of homogeneous seedlings.

3. Raising seedling fertilizer

We should apply seedling fertilizer about 10 days after seedling planting. Especially for some transplanting okra seedlings, it takes some time to adapt to the new environment and grow new roots in order to survive. Therefore, the main purpose of raising seedling fertilizer is to improve the survival of okra seedlings and shorten its growth time. Accelerate the growth rate of okra and make it blossom and bear fruit earlier. The main fertilizer for raising seedlings is compound fertilizer, and the method of fertilization is spreading. When spreading, it should be spread to about the 5cm of the root, and then cover the soil to avoid fertilizer loss.

4. Flower and fruit fertilizer

When entering the flowering and fruiting period of okra, we should also pay attention to the application of flower and fruit fertilizer. Provide sufficient nutrition for okra blossom and fruit, thus play a role in promoting flowers and protecting fruit. Because okra blossoms and fruits consume a lot of nutrients, so the amount of topdressing this time is more than that of the previous two times. Flower and fruit fertilizer is dominated by human feces and urine, supplemented by compound fertilizer. It can be mixed together and then spread evenly in the field to ensure to meet the nutrients needed for okra blossom and fruit, promote the growth of okra, and improve the amount of flowering and fruiting.

The above is a brief introduction of the time and method of fertilization of okra. In addition, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once after each harvest to prevent excessive nutrient consumption from causing plant aging, reducing harvest batches and reducing yield.
