Okra plants were tested to see how they respond to a farming method called ratooning. Some plants died, but others grew back quickly. The second crop of okra flowers and is ready to harvest faster than the first crop. Different okra types had different yields after ratooning, with some doing much better than others. The second crop's yield didn't always match the first crop's yield, so it's important to choose the right type of okra for ratooning.
