Okra

Abelmoschus esculentus, commonly known as okra, is a warm-season annual prized for its nutritional value. Its foliage and stems are palatable to livestock, making it a valuable source of nutrition for grazing animals. Okra plants are also known to have deep taproots, which can help improve soil structure and water infiltration, making them useful in soil conservation efforts. Furthermore, okra is relatively drought-tolerant and thrives in hot, sunny conditions, making it well-suited for cultivation in regions with limited water availability. Its ability to produce abundant biomass during the warm season makes it an attractive option for forage production, providing a valuable source of feed for livestock during the summer months.
