Description Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) also known as lady's finger, bhindi or gumbo is one of the common and principal vegetable crops. It belongs to the family Malvaceae and its chromosome number is 2n = 130. Okra is native to Ethiopia (Vavilov, 1951). Because of its high nutritive value, palatability and good post harvest life, it has occupied a prominent position among the export oriented vegetables in India. It has a vast-potential as one of the foreign exchange earner crops and accounts for 70% of the export of fresh vegetables. At present, it is being exported to Singapore, Mauritius, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Middle East (Dhankar and Mishra, 2001).
