Root and stem are used for clearing cane juice for preparation of jaggery.
Okra can be grown in a wide range of soils. It grows best in loose, friable, well-drained sandy loam soils rich in organic matter. It can also produce good yields in heavy soils so long as there is good drainage. An optimum pH for this plant ranges from 6.0-6.8. Alkaline, saline soils and soils with poor drainage are not good for this crop.
Okra is one of the most heat- and drought-tolerant vegetables in the world; once established, it can survive severe drought conditions. However, Okra grows best in warm and humid conditions, with a temperature range of 24-27°C.
