Yellowing leaves on okra

clifton, NJ

Having a problem with some of the okra plants. Some of the leaves are turning yellow. Is this because of a lack of nutrients? (do i need to add a certian fertilizer?) The plants get plenty of sunshine and plenty of water.

Okra needs hot weather, so they may be fine as it warms up. If all of your leaves are yellowish, then additional nitrogen might be needed. a few older leaves, thats natural. Another problem could be too much water especially in a heavy soil. They need air to the roots, and they will drown if not in well drained soil.
