Abstract

The total soluble sugar in leaves of okra genotypes ranged from 2.47% (AKOV-107-04) to 3.82% (AKOV106) followed by 3.75% (AKOV-98-04-1), and 3.71% (Parbhani Kranti). The phenol content in leaves of okra genotypes ranged from 1.92 (AKOV-106) to 2.64 mg/g (AKOV-107-04). The total soluble sugars and phenols present in leaves of okra genotypes had non significant correlation with leaf hopper and aphid incidence.
