Okra, alias okra, is a genus of okra in the mallow family, known as the "vegetable king". Okra, although called okra, is a vegetable that grows in summer and continues into autumn.
So why is okra known as the "vegetable king"?
Okra is very nutritious, containing pectin, sugars, protein, iron calcium and other nutrients, but also contains zinc and selenium and other trace elements, so okra is known as the king of vegetables.
Such a nutritious vegetable, how to manage it to be highly productive?
In the growth process of okra plants, the problems that will occur are: only long leaves, not tall; Only grow tall and do not flower and bear fruit; Plant leaves long worms, etc.
For the problem of only long leaves, not tall, you can knock off two or three leaves close to the ground, knock off some of the side branches that grow out in advance, and leave only one or two side branches, and after a while you will find that the okra plant has grown taller.
In view of the problem of only growing tall and not flowering and fruiting, when the plant grows to about 30 cm, first beat off the top buds, and some dense weak and long side branches to promote the growth of good side branches, the plant spacing of the two okra plants (35-40 cm plant spacing) is larger, okra needs sufficient light during the growth process, too dense and opaque is not conducive to its flowering and fruiting.
Plants have long leaves and insects, which is a common thing. The denser the plant, the more likely the leaves are to grow worms. If the plant gap is large, the chance of leaf worms will be smaller. You can manually treat insects, that is, press the rolled part of the leaf, and the insects will be destroyed. It can also spray insecticides, and it can also thin the leaves, that is, the insect part of the leaves are knocked off and fed to the chickens.
Mature okra is easy to pick up in time, but also conducive to the growth of other small okra, reasonable fertilization, watering, so as to achieve high yield of okra.
