An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of five different varieties of okra viz. Arka Anamika, Puja, Anmol, Sabz-Pari and Sharmeeli under the agro-climatic conditions of Dera Ismail Khan. The experiment was laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) using 5 different Okra cultivars as main factor. The result showed minimum days to flowering (45.67), days to fruit setting (52.67), maximum plant height (91.33 cm), pods per plant (17.10), pod weight per plant (156.8 gm), yield per plot (477gm/ picking) and the total yield (9.900 t/ha) was found in Arka Anamika cultivar. Whereas, maximum average weight of a single pod (10.13 g) and pod length (9.70 cm) was recorded in cv. Sabz-pari. Thus, Arka Anamika is recommended for its cultivation under the agro-climatic conditions of Dera Ismail Khan.
