HOW TO CONSIDER THE DISEASE -           Circle the plant. This can reduce pesticide microorganisms -           Remove the weeds that become parasites -           Use a good fertilizer at regular times and quantities. More or less fertilizer affects the tree. -           Perfect drainage          Plowing an earlier crop. -           Using a good and healthy seed. Soak seeds in fungicides and insects before they are sown or planted. -           Use disease-resistant clones. -           Control insects. Insects act as a virus HERBAL/VECTOR,fungus and bacteria to the tree. -           Unplug and burn any sickly tree. Otherwise it will spread quickly. -           Separate immediately where sick trees are. Destroy after that do not save CHEMICAL CONTROLS -           Spray Fungus +Insecticide Poison on all trees within a specified and predetermined range of fats:mankozeb / benlate / thiram / captan -           Dipping :plant / seedlings are dipped into

The observation about the production of okra and  types of disease okra plant were observed at the okra plantation and there are many types of diseases of okra plant. During rainy season,  the disease is getting serious . Due to clearing of veins, leaves look chlorotic because there is a yellow and mosaic pattern on leaves . Fruit production is adversely affected. Fruits become yellow and lose acceptability. Okra should not be harvested in the rain or when excessively wet, and should be handled with care. Rubber gloves should be used during harvesting and handling. On harvesting approximately 1 cm of stem should remain attached to the pod. Due to the perishable nature of okra, harvesting must take place on the day of, or on the day preceding shipment.  There are 3 different quality classes of okra: o Extra Class (superior quality); Ø   Class I (slight defects in shape, development and colouring); Ø    Class II (defects in shape, development, colouring and skin). Oversi

The production of okra are decreasing because the okra can be planted for at least 8 weeks. If the okra plant were planted for more than 8 weeks, the quality of okra will decreased and damaged. Besides, okra plant will be harvested after 8 weeks because the production of okra will decreasing and the fruit easily affected by diseases and fungus.
