It is a warm-season vegetable crop widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, with India being the largest producer.
Here's a detailed description of okra farming practices:
Climate and Soil Requirements:
Climate: Okra thrives in warm and humid climates with a long growing season. The ideal temperature range for its growth is between 25°C to 35°C. It is sensitive to frost and does not grow well in cold conditions. Seeds fail to germinate below 20°C, with an optimum germination temperature of around 29°C. It requires full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily.
Soil: Okra can be grown in a wide range of soil types, but it performs best in well-drained, fertile, silty to sandy loam soils rich in organic matter. The ideal soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. Heavy clay soils can also be suitable if proper drainage is ensured, as waterlogging can be detrimental. Alkaline or saline soils with poor drainage should be avoided.
Land Preparation:
The land should be thoroughly prepared to ensure a good crop stand and optimum yield.
This typically involves 2-3 deep ploughings at one-week intervals to prevent weed growth and loosen the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm for better root penetration.
Harrowing is done after each ploughing to pulverize and level the field, creating a fine seedbed.
Incorporate well-decomposed organic matter, such as farmyard manure (FYM) at about 10-15 tonnes per hectare, during the last ploughing to enrich the soil.
Raised beds or ridges and furrows are
Seed Treatment: Soaking seeds in water for 12-24 hours before sowing can enhance germination. Treating seeds with fungicides like Carbendazim (at 2g/litre of water for 6 hours) can protect them from soil-borne fungal diseases.
Method of Sowing: Okra is typically sown directly in the field using methods like:
Dibbling: Planting 2-3 seeds per hill at a spacing of 30 cm between plants.
Sowing behind the plough: Dropping seeds in the furrows made by a plough.
Seed drill: For more uniform sowing.
During the rainy season, sowing on ridges is recommended to avoid waterlogging.
Spacing: Recommended spacing varies with the season and variety:
Spring-Summer: 30 cm x 45 cm (plant to plant x row to row).
Rainy Season: 45 cm x 60 cm.
Sowing Depth: Seeds are typically sown at a depth of 1.5-2 cm.
Irrigation:
The first irrigation is usually given immediately after sowing (pre-sowing irrigation is beneficial in dry summer conditions).
Subsequent irrigations are provided at intervals of 4-5 days during summer and 10-12 days during the rainy season if there is a prolonged dry spell.
Moderate irrigation is required, with increased frequency during the flowering and fruiting stages. Okra is sensitive to waterlogging, so proper drainage is crucial.
Nutrient Management:
Soil testing is recommended to determine specific nutrient requirements.
Generally, a balanced fertilizer application is beneficial. A common recommended NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) ratio is around 150:100:100 kg/ha, but this can vary based on soil fertility.
Apply a basal dose of fertilizers during land preparation. Subsequent top dressings of nitrogen may be required during the vegetative and flowering stages.
Organic manures like compost and vermicompost can supplement chemical fertilizers and improve soil health.
Weed Control:
Weeding is essential, especially during the early growth stages of the crop.
Manual weeding or hoeing is commonly practiced.
Off-barring (shallow cultivation) can be done around 15 days after emergence (DAE) to control weeds.
Cultivation should be done carefully, about 10 cm away from the plant base, to avoid root damage.
Pest and Disease Management:
Okra is susceptible to various pests and diseases. Common pests include:
Shoot and Fruit Borer: Damages shoots and fruits.
Jassids: Suck sap from leaves, causing them to curl upwards.
Aphids: Cluster on young shoots and leaves, sucking sap.
Whiteflies: Transmit viral diseases.
Red Mites: Cause yellowing and drying of leaves.
Common diseases include:
Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV): Causes yellowing of veins and stunted growth. Using resistant varieties and controlling whiteflies (the vector) are important.
Fusarium Wilt: A soil-borne fungal disease causing wilting and death of plants. Crop rotation and seed treatment can help manage it.
Powdery Mildew: A fungal disease that appears as white powdery patches
