An awesome thread.

Thank you sir

I will be starting a new Okro project on the 25th of June by God grace. Stay tuned for the mid season project

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

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

Okro can be planted all year round. Don’t dull this moment o . Prices are good in the market right now. Don’t forget to get good seeds that’s your best bet against this ravaging leaf curl

We begin again in the name of almighty

I hope you all notice the heaps made. It’s because am located in a swampy area

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.

Yes my sister it is an outbreak but can be managed by curbing whitefly. I had it on my farm too but the effect was minimal.

A lot of factors determines your yield so I cannot put a number to that.

Op, pls can you kindly tell us the name of the foliar fertilizers you using, so that novice like us can easily get it. Thanks

Jub101:

I use a urea(nitrogen) based foliar fertilizer for the first 3weeks then I stopped. Am using a 20L knapsack so I use 100ml. I apply once in a week only.

You can use D.I grow green during the vegetative state and use D.I red starting when you see pod formation.

Harvesting has commenced since a week ago. I have been really busy.

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.

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 .

Seed production for next year planting season has already commenced. We’re doing it better and bigger next year by God grace.

Pictures of our just concluded project

Good day everyone, Please do anyone know what variety or cultivar is Omasi Okra?

I haven’t heard of this before. Good day

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

Good management (both insect especially whiteflies and weeds that accommodate them)practices can really help with the virus

Ensure the plant is not stress through irregular irrigation or insufficient water. All the best guys
