6. Floral Biology
Okra flowers are 4-8 cm in diameter, with
five white to yellow petals, often with a red
or purple spot at the base of each petal.
Flower bud appears in the axil of each
leaf, above 6th to 8th leaf.
A flower bud takes about 22-26 days from
initiation to full bloom.

9. The major problem in the vegetable production is
the heavy incidences of diseases and pests.
Host plant resistance is the economical method
but such resistance against insect pest is never
stable due to population pressure of insects on
the host, as a result there is evolution of new
biotypes and breakdown of resistance.
Insect-pests are responsible for reducing about
40% yield in vegetables
