Resource Manual on IPPM in Vegetable World Education Philippines, Inc. j. Weeding To suppress the growth of weeds, off-barring at 14-21 days after transplanting and hilling-up at 28 DAT is recommended. Spot weeding can also be done as the need arises. k. Harvesting Sweet peppers should be harvested when fruits reach full size (depending on variety, market, and environment) when it reaches the breaker or mature green stage or when it becomes firm. Do not wait for the fruits to ripen. Stems of pepper plants are very fragile, so use knife to harvest fruits. Sort the fruits according to market standard and separate damaged fruits. 108
Resource Manual on IPPM in Vegetable World Education Philippines, Inc. F. OTHER VEGETABLE CROPS 1. OKRA Abelmoschus esculentus a. Introduction Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.), thought to be of African origin, was brought to the United states three centuries ago by African slaves. The word, derived from the West African nkruma, was in use by the late 1700s. Grown in tropical and warm temperate climates, it is in the same family as the hibiscus and cotton plants. Okra is an erect, stout, annual herb averaging 1.5 m in height. The leaves are spreading and are spirally arranged with yellow solitary flower in leaf axils. The fruit is a cylindrical or pyramidal capsule usually green, greenish-purple or completely purple when young, and brownish when mature. Okra is mainly grown for its young immature fruits which are consumed raw, cooked or fried. The fruits can also be dried or pickled. b. Climate and Soil Requirements Okra is a tropical plant requiring warm growing conditions. Minimum soil temperature for germination is 15 o C. Optimum soil temperature range is 24-32 o C. Well-drained, sandy soils are preferred. Addition of manure or other organic material is usually beneficial on such light-textured soils. Okra grows best in neutral to slightly alkaline soils with the pH of 6.5-7.5. 109
