Available Today: Okras, Bright & Fresh red

Vadodara: Never bashful of adopting fresh agricultural inventions, Gujarat farmers are currently including a dash of vivid red to the green planet of okras or bhindi.
A farmer in Virpur at Mahisagar district also has succeeded in cultivating the reddish okras and the harvest brings him nearly double the cost in comparison with the green selection.
Jagdish Sharma, who examined in the Anand Agriculture University, is glad that he preferred for the red range of okras.
“Against the cost of Rs 40 per kg for green, now I still receive Rs 80 per pound to the red selection,” said Sharma.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Vegetable Research (IIVR) situated in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, produced a new range of this okra called’Kashi Lalima Bhindi’ a couple of decades back.
Sharma has numerous hats in his career.
Aside from working at a chemical plant,” Sharma also created a name for a horticulture adviser before opting to go back to his residence and work in his farm, and paved the way for its crimson okra experiment.
“In KutchI worked on veggies.
We’re effective in nurturing dragon fruits, pomegranate, dates as well as others.
Afterwards, I chose to go home and innovate too,” he explained.
Back home, the states were more appropriate for vegetables and grains.
“I chose to concentrate on natural farming and present new kinds of different vegetables and grains.
The red girls palms were part of these attempts,” he explained.
Sharma was introduced into the red okra with a buddy who was able to use him at a compound unit at Ankleshwar.
“He also sent me a few seeds out of Varanasi.
I climbed it onto a little part of property and was powerful.
The number has been developed after 20 decades of study from scientists from Varanasi,” he explained.
Sharma stated that he didn’t utilize any pesticide and relied just on neem oil.
“Other veggies need dyes, but this isn’t true with reddish okras,” he further added.
Aside from simplicity in farming, these okras are also full of nourishment and have a great taste.
“Additionally, reddish variety isn’t difficult to harvest because there are no hairs or spinesthat trigger aggravation when plucking the green okras, in its surface,” he explained.
Sharma added that the pods aren’t slimy when trimming.
