Field preparation and nutrient management for okra crop

For okra crops, friable, well-drained sandy loam soil having a pH range of 6.0-6.8 is most suitable.
It has good seed germination and root development in soil rich in organic matter.
After harvesting the previous crop, do one ploughing with soil turning plough.
Thereafter, apply FYM 8 to 10 Tonne + Speed Kompost 4 kg + Combat (Trichoderma viride 1.0 % WP) @ 2 kg, per acre evenly in the field.
And do 2-3 ploughing with the help of a harrow. If there is less moisture in the soil, first do the Irrigation, then prepare the field and in the end make the field level by the leveller.
After field preparation, sow the seeds at the recommended spacing.
Keep the distance of plant to plant and row to row 30 x 30 cm. For one acre area, 1.5-2.2 kg seed is sufficient.
