Okra is a nutritious and healthy vegetable, so how to grow okra at home? The following is the home planting method of okra that I have carefully arranged for you. Let's have a look.

In the family planting method of okra, take a large flowerpot with a diameter of not less than 20 cm and fill it with flower soil (common soil and organic fertilizer can also be added) to make it permeable. The seeds of okra are soaked in clear water for 24 hours, put into flowerpots, put 3 seeds in each pot, cover with soil 1 cm, and germinate after three or four days. Pull out the weak seedlings after 20 days, leaving only one strong seedling, which can blossom and bear fruit in about 50 days, so as to prevent aphids in the young stage.

Okra likes temperature, heat and frost. The optimum temperature for seed germination, growth and development is 25 ~ 30℃, and germination is slow below 65438 02℃. The optimum temperature for flowering and fruiting is 26 ~ 28℃. If it is lower than 17℃, it will affect flowering and fruiting, and if it is lower than 14℃, it will not grow well. Okra likes light, which requires not only a long illumination time, but also a certain illumination intensity and sufficient illumination, which is beneficial to growth and development, high fruit setting rate, rapid fruit development, high yield and good quality. Okra is drought-resistant, moisture-resistant, and waterlogging-resistant, and needs sufficient water in the fruiting period. Okra has wide adaptability to soil, so it is not suitable for continuous cropping, nor for choosing fruit and vegetable crops as previous crops.

Large-scale cultivation:

Sowing time: sow in March-April and harvest in May-September; Summer sowing of okra is: sowing in May-June and harvesting in July -65438+ 10.

The seed coat of okra is hard. Okra should be soaked for 24 hours before sowing, and then germinated. 1 ~ 2 days after 70% of the seeds germinate, they can be planted. Single plant in one hole: row spacing 70? Planting two plants in one hole at 45cm: 80× 50cm is the best, with high yield. With two or three seeds per hole, okra can emerge in about 7 days. After the okra seedlings are unearthed, the weak and diseased seedlings should be pulled out in time. When okra seedlings have 2 ~ 3 true leaves, about 3000 seedlings should be protected every 667 square meters.

Fertilization of okra: The key to high yield is that okra plants are tall, bear more fruits and have sufficient fertilizer and water. Fertilizer requires complete nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer in the early stage of growth and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer in the middle and late stage. Apply base fertilizer every 667 square meters: farmyard manure 1000 ~ 2000 kg, compound fertilizer 60 ~ 80 kg. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer, topdressing should be carried out many times during the growth period. After the emergence of okra, topdressing the seedling fertilizer in time, and applying 6 ~ 8 kilograms of urea every 667 square meters; Seedling height 1.5 cm, second application of seedling fertilizer, compound fertilizer per mu 1.5 ~ 20 kg; The height of the seedlings is 30 cm. When the seedlings enter the fruiting period, they should be topdressing again, and 25 ~ 30 kilograms of compound fertilizer should be applied per mu. In the middle and late growth stage, topdressing should be applied less and more times to prevent premature senescence of plants.

The recommended fertilization method of this farm: 25 kilograms of pure potassium fertilizer is added to each mu of base fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer is topdressing with water. Because the planting row spacing reaches 80 cm, the basal fertilizer strips are applied near the calculated planting holes, so as to avoid the waste of fertilizer and increase the cost because the distance is too far and the root system is not fully absorbed.

Intertillage weeding and pest control of okra: After the seedlings of okra are unearthed or planted, it is necessary to avoid the competition between seedlings and weeds for fertilizer and water, and timely intertillage weeding. Every 7 ~ 10 days. Plants grow faster after flowering and fruiting. In rainy and windy areas in summer, it is best to insert bamboo poles and branches about 1 m near the plants to prevent lodging. This measure is unnecessary in most parts of China. Control aphids at early seedling stage and cabbage caterpillar at fruiting stage.

Plant regulation of okra: in the early growth stage of okra, the lateral branches can be removed in time, which is beneficial to the early fruiting of the main stem and the increase of yield. In the early stage of growth, the vegetative growth is too strong, and the method of twisting the petiole can also be used to twist the petiole into an arc to control the vegetative growth; In the middle and late growth stage, all the old leaves under the harvested young fruits should be removed in time, which can not only improve ventilation and light transmission conditions, reduce nutrient consumption, but also prevent the spread of pests and diseases.

Harvest of Okra: Okra blooms and bears fruit in the fourth to eighth festivals. Under suitable temperature conditions, young fruits can be harvested 2-4 days after flowering. Generally, the tender fruit can be harvested when its length is 6-8 cm, 12g. Early harvest has low yield, late harvest is easy to fibrosis, and the quality is reduced, so it is not suitable for eating. Harvesting should be carried out in the morning or evening, and should be carried out at the fruit stalk to avoid damaging the branches. There are bristles or thorns on the stems, leaves and fruits of okra. Wear gloves when harvesting, otherwise the skin will be itchy. Generally, the output per 667 square meters is 1500 ~ 2000 kg. Harvest 1 time two days before harvest, harvest 1 time every day or every other day at the peak of okra harvest, and harvest 1 time three to four days in the middle and late harvest.

The way to grow okra at home is to choose the seeds first. You can buy mature okra pods online and choose full seeds.

Prepare flowerpots and flower soil. The flowerpot must be big, because the height of okra can reach more than one meter.

Seeds should be cultivated in advance, make a small nutrition box by yourself, transplant after emergence, or plant them directly in flowerpots, but it is best to transplant them. Seedling raising time can be put in early spring. The germination time takes about 7-0 days, during which the soil is kept moist.

Keep the flowerpot sunny after transplanting and water it regularly. Not as delicate as many flowers. Just take care of it carefully, just like growing vegetables.

In summer, okra began to increase. Autumn can be picked for a long time and harvested in time. After flowering 10 days, the pod will be completely inedible.

Planting method of balcony 1 okra. seed treatment

Okra is generally propagated by sowing, but because its seed shell is hard, it needs to be soaked before sowing, and it can be sown only after soaking for 1 day.

Second, the soil preparation method

First, choose a container of suitable size. If you are preparing to cultivate the soil yourself, you need to spread a layer of sand with a thickness of 5 cm on the bottom layer and cover it with a soaked fertile soil with a thickness of 5 cm. Finally, lay a layer of garden soil.

Third, the sowing process.

After preparation, knock a hole about 1 cm deep in the prepared culture soil, then put in two or three seeds, and then fill the hole with soil.

Fourth, interplanting and replanting

After emergence, when the plant grows one or two true leaves, it can be thinned and replanted. If the plant is found to grow normally, leave strong seedlings and pull out other relatively weak seedlings; If it is found that the grown seedlings are weak, a stronger seedling should be pulled out from other caves to make up the seedlings.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) supplements nutrition

When okra seedlings grow three or four real leaves, we need to spray them with organic liquid fertilizer once a week. You can dilute the rice washing water or soybean paste residue before spraying. In the peak period of plant growth, it is necessary to increase watering, but not to accumulate water. After that, put the container with seedlings in a well-lit place for maintenance.

Six, pruning and leaf cutting

During the growth period of potted okra, it is necessary to trim and cut leaves in time. Of course, we cut off redundant side branches and dead branches. In the middle and late stage, all but two or three real leaves should be picked. By pruning and picking leaves in time, not only the flowering period can be prolonged, but also the fruit setting rate can be improved by ventilation.

Seven, timely harvesting

Okra grows quickly, and if it is well maintained, the harvest efficiency is also high. Flowers bloom in the morning, wither at noon, and grow okra fruit at night. Harvest time is less than 1 week. The harvest season usually lasts from summer to autumn.
