Okra Practices

• Plant Habit- Vigorous and Medium tall plant
• Fruit Colour- Dark Green
• Fruit Length- 10-13 cm
• Days to 1st Picking- 42-45 Days
• Disease Tolerance- Tolerant to YVMV & ELCV

• Rainy Season- 60 x 45 cm & Summer Season- 45 x 30 cm

• 150;100;100 kg NPK/ hectare
• Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.

• Seed should be sown in optimum moisture conditions.Apply water at the initiation of first true leaf during spring-summer and at its expansion during rainy season..
• Irrigate the field subsequently at 5-6 days intervals during summer and as and when required in rainy season crop.
  The crop must be irrigated during its most critical stages i.e. flowering and fruit setting stages.
• However, over irrigation should be avoided as it causes wilting..

• Proper weed management is needed to check yield loss.
• At least two weeding are required till the crop canopy covers the soil surface.
• Regarding chemical weed control, apply fluchloralin (Basalin 48 EC) @ 1.5 kg a.i/ha as pre-sowing soil
  incorporation and pendimethalin (Stomp 30 EC) @ 0.75 kg a.i/ha as post sowing and pre-emergence soil surface
  spray.

• Maggots and White grubs : Broadcasting of Quinalphos 5G @25kg/ha at the time of sowing or carbofuron 3 G @ 30 kg/ha at the time of land preparation.
• Jassids: Seed treatment with thiamethoxam 70 WS @ 3g/kg seed or Imidacloprid (Gaucho) @ 5g /kg seed before sowing.
  Use of delta traps or sticky traps @ 10 /ha.Foliar Spray of imidacloprid (0.3 ml/lit) during the vegetative stage of the crop (before flowering) Spray of metasystox 25 EC @ 1 ml/lit or rogor 30 EC@ 2 ml/lit or malathione 50 EC @ 2 ml/lit of water after flowering
• Aphids: Use Yellow sticky traps @ 10/ha ; Spray 2 ml of Malathion 50 EC per lit of water or imidacloprid @ 0.3 ml/ lit or of water or Methyl demeton 25 EC@ 1 ml/lit or Dimethoate 30 EC @ 1L/ha as and when the pest is noticed. If necessary, repeat the spray after 10-12 days.
• Red cotton bug : Spraying of Acetamiprid 20 SP @ 0.3 ml/lit of water or Imidacloprid 17.8 SL@ 0.3 ml/lit of water or Thiamethoxam25 WG @ 0.3 ml/lit of water
• White flies; Use of delta traps or sticky traps @ 10/ha for effective catching of whiteflies.Foliar spray of imidacloprid (0.3 ml per lit).

Diseases
Seed/Seedling rot

• Identification : Rooting of seeds result into failure of germination or pre-emergence death. Emerged seedlings
  exhibit dark brown rotting of roots and collar portion with sudden or protracted death or decline.
• Control ; Ensure good soil drainage and avoid overwatering. Deep summer ploughing can help destroy the fungus in the soil.Seed treatments with fungicides like thiram @2g/kg of seeds.
