Growth environment
Temperature: Okra likes warmth, is afraid of severe cold, and has strong heat resistance. When the temperature is 13℃ and the ground temperature is about 15℃, the seeds can germinate. However, the optimum temperature for seed germination and growth period is 25-30℃. If the monthly average temperature is lower than 17℃, it will affect the flowering results; if the night temperature is lower than 14℃, the growth will be slow, the plants will be short, the leaves will be narrow, there will be fewer flowers and more flowers will fall. 26-28℃ suitable temperature for flowering, high fruit setting rate and fast fruit development.
Moisture: Okra is resistant to drought and humidity, but not waterlogging. Excessive soil moisture during germination can easily induce seedling wilt. The fruiting period is dry, the plants grow poorly and the quality is poor, so the soil should always be kept moist.
Sunlight: Okra is particularly sensitive to light conditions, requiring long and sufficient light. Sunny plots should be selected to strengthen ventilation, and pay attention to reasonable close planting, so as not to shade each other and affect ventilation and light transmission.
Soil: Okra has a wide adaptability to the soil and does not choose soil strength, but it is better to use a deep, loose, fertile, well-drained loam or sandy loam. Fertilizers are mainly nitrogen in the early stage of growth, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are needed in the middle and late stages. However, if nitrogen fertilizer is too much, plants are prone to lengthening, flowering and fruiting are delayed, and fruit-setting nodes are increased; insufficient nitrogen fertilizer, plant growth is poor, which affects flowering and fruit-setting.
Uses: Cooking (Fried okra with minced garlic,Scrambled eggs with okra,Cold mixed okra with black fungus,Okra soaked in water to drink.etc)
