The nature of the geminivirus has not been determined, nor has the presence of other viruses been ruled out. The disease is associated with the presence of whiteflies. Older leaves have irregular yellow areas which are interveinal. The initial symptom on young leaves is a diffuse, mottled appearance.

Virus: A whitefly-transmitted geminivirus was detected by Dr. Some okra plants can grow as tall as 7 feet (2.1 meters), but most will reach a height of 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). See the Seedling Disease Section for more information. Seedling Disease (fungus – Rhizoctonia sp.): This disease is more likely to occur if okra is planted before soils warm sufficiently in the spring. Disease development is favored by warm, humid weather. Infected plant parts are reduced to a soft rotten substance. No control is recommended.īlossom and Fruit Blight (fungus – Choanephora cucurbitarum): Young fruit and blossoms are attacked by the fungus which gives them a “whiskery” appearance. However, none have been shown to cause economic loss.

Harvest the okra every other day, and every day in warm climates and during the peak of the season, to encourage fast regrowth.Harvest the pods when they are 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) long.Keep harvesting the okra throughout the summer until the growing season slows and the plants stop producing new pods. Once you make a cut, another okra pod will emerge from the same spot. Use a scissors or a hand pruner to cut the okra pods just above their caps, where their thick stems meet the branches of the plant. Once you see the first okra pods emerge and mature, you can start regularly harvesting them. In the picture, Kareena is seen giving fans a glimpse of her.
