Abstract

Thirty-five okra genotypes along with three checks were screened for resistance or susceptibility to yellow vein mosaic virus. Out of 35 test genotypes, twenty genotypes were found to be moderately susceptible to yellow vein mosaic virus, 10 genotypes found to be tolerant whereas five genotypes found to be susceptible and only one genotype showed highly susceptibility towards yellow vein mosaic virus. In this study none of the genotypes showed resistance or highly resistance reaction.
