Yellow vein mosaic is considered the most destructive disease of okra crop causing considerable loss in fruit yield. Twenty two germplasm of okra were screened against yellow vein mosaic virus under field conditions, and it was observed that no germplasm was immune to the disease. Panchali (Hybrid), Arka anamika and Parbhawa were highly resistant, VRO-5, Varsha Uphar, JBS-4, VRO-5 x AA, Pusa A-4, F1 Hybrid Bhindi No.32, Punjab-7 and Hisar Unnat were resistant and Barkha Bahar, VRO-6, JBS-10, VRO-3, JBS-2, 205-Hybrid, Arka Komal, VL-Bhindi-1, Pusa Makhmali and F1 Hybrid Bhindi No.10 were moderately resistant.
