You can choose multiple bulbs in the spring. Before sowing, you must first select seeds for germination. Select plump seeds and soak them in water. After taking them out, wrap them in wet cloth and put them in a warm place for germination. After germination, you can sow. Level the soil and plow it deeply, apply enough base fertilizer, sow the seeds into the holes, sow 3-4 seeds in each hole, cover with 2 cm of soil, and water appropriately to keep them moist.

1. Planting time

1. Planting time

Okra planting is generally carried out in spring, when the temperature is neither high nor low, which is helpful for the rooting and germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings. If you sow seeds in the summer, strong light and high temperatures will inhibit the development of the seedlings and may even kill them. If sown in autumn, the growth time will be shorter, which will affect harvest. Winter temperatures are too low for the seeds to grow.

2. Seed selection and germination

< p>Choose seeds with relatively large and plump particles and soak them in water for 12 hours. After taking it out, wrap it with a damp cloth and place it in an environment of 25-30℃ for germination. Rinse it with clean water every day. Generally, most of the seeds will germinate after 3-4 days.

3. Land preparation and fertilization

The soil needs to be prepared before sowing. Although okra is adaptable, it grows better in loose, fertile soil. First level the soil, and then start to apply base fertilizer. The fertilizer is generally decomposed farmyard manure, 5,000 kilograms per acre, and some compound fertilizer should be prepared. After applying the base fertilizer, a furrow needs to be dug to prepare for sowing.

4. Sowing and raising seedlings

Water properly before sowing okra so that the soil becomes moist. Then sow the seeds, placing 3-4 seeds in each hole. After sowing, you need to cover it with 2 cm of soil and keep the temperature at about 25°C. Seedlings will emerge in 4-5 days and can be planted in one month.

5. Follow-up maintenance

After the okra emerges, weeding and thinning are required. Just keep two plants in each hole. Small and weak seedlings need to be removed, and appropriate top dressing is required. Urea is mostly used as fertilizer, and 6-7 kg should be applied each time. In order to prevent the plants from lodging, you can install supports and remove old leaves in time to facilitate lighting and ventilation.
