Sree Okra is a high-performing hybrid variety known for its uniform, medium-sized green pods and excellent resistance to common pests and diseases. It is ideal for home gardens, kitchen gardens, and small-scale farming. This variety adapts well to different Indian climates and provides consistent yields during summer and monsoon seasons.
Sow the seeds directly into garden beds or grow bags. Choose well-drained, fertile soil with access to full sunlight. Soak the seeds in water for 6 to 8 hours before sowing to improve germination. Sow seeds about one inch deep with a spacing of 12 to 15 inches between plants. Germination typically occurs in 5 to 8 days.
Water the plants regularly to maintain moisture. Add organic compost or manure every 15 to 20 days for healthy growth and flowering. The plant starts flowering in 40 to 45 days, and harvesting can begin from 50 to 60 days after sowing. Harvest the pods when they are tender and 4 to 5 inches long for best texture and taste.
Sree Okra is suitable for terrace gardening, pots, raised beds, and open fields. With minimal care and timely watering, it provides reliable and prolonged harvests.
