Contribution of Mathematics to the Development of Sustainable Agriculture in the Cultivation of Ladyfinger

Abstract

Ladyfinger (Abelmoschus esculentus), also known as okra or bhindi, is a widely cultivated vegetable crop with significant culinary and economic importance. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of ladyfinger cultivation practices, encompassing various aspects such as climate and soil requirements, nutritional needs, water management, pest and disease control, weed management, harvesting techniques, and post-harvest practices. By analyzing these factors, the paper offers valuable insights to farmers, researchers, and policymakers for optimizing ladyfinger cultivation and maximizing crop productivity. Additionally, the economic viability and profitability of ladyfinger cultivation are examined, shedding light on
the market dynamics and potential challenges faced by farmers. The research findings underscore the significance of implementing sustainable cultivation practices and emphasize the need for further research and innovation to address emerging challenges in ladyfinger cultivation. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge and serves as a guide for promoting efficient and sustainable ladyfinger production, thereby benefiting both farmers and consumers.
