Op. I haven't heard u talk about curl leave virus attack on ur okra. Don't u experience it? If u do pls, what do u spray to cure the plants? It affects my okra mostly during the rainy season |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 4:03pm On Jun 18, 2023 |
Thank you mention it. It has been ravaging most of the farm around me too. I didn’t plant during this raining season so it really disint affect it. The main issue is it’s a viral infection hence good viable seed and good agricultural management are the two main factors I can say can help out in this situation. @Oluchidelly and other Okro farmers please contribute |

Maryam1234: Thanks for your comment. It’s all over farms here too. The name of the virus is Okro yellow vein mosaic virus. It is majorly transmitted by whitefly. So the main thing to do is try and curb whitefly infestation on your farm as soon as your plant emerges. Good management system is your best bet against it. 1 Like |

This year was terrible for okra in this parts, now I smile when I remember heavy rains washed away my lil okra farm. The rice in its place is worth it. Congrats OP what ever your doing keep it up. Your farm as usual is beautiful. |

willybaby: Thank you my brother, farming really can be funny sometimes you might have all the right things but it’s some unexpected factor e.g rain especially might mess everything up. We just don’t give up here sha, we go again and again with every new experience we have gathered through the years consistently . 1 Like |

Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 2:52pm On Dec 02, 2023 |
From my personal experience the okra leaf curl mosaic virus is still out there ravaging many farms and making dry season Okro farming very difficult this year. I sense a high scarcity of Okro by January next year guys. Happy New Month |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 2:54pm On Dec 02, 2023 |
Good management (both insect especially whiteflies and weeds that accommodate them)practices can really help with the virus |
Re: Diary Of An Okro Farmer by Jub101(m): 2:55pm On Dec 02, 2023 |
Ensure the plant is not stress through irregular irrigation or insufficient water. All the best guys 1 Like |
