Too much drought can slow down growth and cause young fruits to fall. Water your okra regularly to avoid slowing down its growth. Get rid of weeds. Nourish okra crops by periodically applying a little compost, well-rotted manure or litter around the base of each okra plant

Okra is a widely grown crop. Okra likes heat and tolerates drought. But low watering and weeds cause low okra production.

Okra growing

Use improved seed for better yields. On sandy soils, water three times a day for the first 10 days after sowing. Especially in hot and dry sun and the leaves wither. From the tenth to the twentieth day, water only twice a day. After 3 weeks, water only once a day.

Weed the field when the weeds overgrow the okra, about 3 weeks after seeding. Put some soil on the stem of the plant to strengthen its roots. Add compost, manure or litter from poultry farmers. This improves soil fertility.
