With the wheat harvest season leaving fields vacant, farmers across regions have a golden opportunity to proceed into the cultivation of okra, popularly known as ladyfinger. This versatile crop, bridging the gap between Rabi and Kharif seasons, not only fills the agricultural calendar but also promises lucrative returns in the market. Besides its economic potential, okra stands out for its rich nutritional profile, boasting an abundance of Vitamins A, B, and C, along with essential proteins and minerals crucial for maintaining optimal health.
In order to capitalize on this profitable venture, it's imperative for farmers to make informed decisions regarding the selection of suitable okra varieties tailored for summer cultivation.

Achieving optimal yields of summer okra necessitates meticulous planning and execution in the sowing process. Utilize 18-20 kg of seeds per hectare, or 5 kg for hybrid varieties, ensuring thorough preparation of the field through multiple plowings. Adopt a systematic approach to sowing, spacing the seeds in rows with adequate distances between plants to facilitate healthy growth. Furthermore, prioritize seed treatment with Mancozeb or Carbendazim to enhance germination rates and fortify plants against potential diseases. By embracing the diversity of okra varieties suited for summer cultivation and implementing best practices in farming techniques, farmers can unlock the full potential of their fields, securing bountiful yields and sustainable profits in the process.
