“…The higher heights of okra are explained in the intercropping of green manures, cowpea and velvet bean due to the habit of prostrate growth of these species; however, the heights were low compared to those obtained by Silva et al (2013) at 80 DAS in soil covered with perennial soybean, tropical kudzu, and stylosantes that obtained okra heights between 60 and 80 cm. The lower height of the okra in the research is attributed to the presence of nematodes in the area and the deficiency of irrigation that impaired the productivity of the crop.…”

“…Ribas et al (2003), in okra intercropped with Crotalaria juncea under organic management, observed an increase of up to 13% in okra yield, with a contribution of 50% of nitrogen by BNF. Silva et al (2013) noted 20 days after sowing. a reduction of spontaneous plant biomass of 90%, 88% and 82% when soil was covered with Pueraria phaseoloides, Glycine wightii and Arachis pintoi, respectively, while Tivelli et al (2013) visually observed spontaneous plant suppression between the rows of the okra intercropped with green manures, particularly with Mucuna deeringiana with a 10% increase in okra yield.…”

Spontaneous plants are biological factors that compromise the yield of vegetables. The hypothesis is that green manure intercropped with okra suppress spontaneous plants and increase the production of this vegetable. The research aimed to evaluate the viability of green manure intercropped with okra to suppress spontaneous plants and increase vegetable productivity. The design was in randomized blocks with four replications and 10 treatments: cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L). Walp.], sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), velvet bean [Mucuna nivea (L.) DC.] and dwarf pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Huth] intercropping and monoculture with two controls without green manure. The green manure reduced the dry mass of spontaneous plants but did not increase the production of okra. The average values of the equivalent area index (EAI) in all intercropping were higher than one. Green manure is efficient in suppressing spontaneous plants, but to increase the productivity of the okra, adjustments must be made in the green manure-okra intercropping.

Okra is traditionally grown in the summer, but its cultivation in the winter can bring profitability to the producer, due to the low offer of the product, especially if grown in an organic production system. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and fruit quality of okra in organic system, in summer (SM), ratoon (RT) and winter (WN) crops. The field experiments were carried out in the SIPA (Agroecological Production Integrated System) and the total yield, marketable yield, and some quality parameters such as major and minor defects, curvature and size of fruits were evaluated in the three periods. Okra yield and fruit quality were influenced by the growing period and methods of conduction, and marketable yields of 18.3, 3.0 and 10.2 Mg ha-1 were found for SM, RT and WN, respectively. The producer should opt for a new planting during the winter instead of growing the ratoon from the summer crop.
