Abstract

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) being an important fruit vegetable of high commercial and food values, lots of research have been undertaken throughout the world. Salient outlines of some research are reviewed on different aspects such as medicinal values, economic importance, physiology, agronomy, insect-diseases, food chemistry and food values, etc. Okra retains many insecticides which are beyond tolerance limits. Therefore, non-risky control measures are also described to protect the crop with non-risky control measures.
