Okra or Okro, Abelmoschus esculentus, known in many English-speaking countries as ladies' fingers or ochro, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. It is valued for its edible green seed pods. It is a good source of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. The geographical origin of okra is disputed, with supporters of West African, Ethiopian, and South Asian origins. The plant is cultivated in tropical, tasty, and warm temperate regions around the world and is a notable part of the cuisine of the Southern United States and Indian cuisine.
The species is a perennial, often cultivated as an annual in temperate climates, often growing to around 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall. As a member of the Malvaceae, it is related to such species as cotton, cocoa, and hibiscus. The leaves are 1020 centimetres (3.97.9 in) long and broad, palmately lobed with 57 lobes. The flowers are 48 centimetres (1.63.1 in) in diameter, with five white to yellow petals, often with a red or purple spot at the base of each petal. The pollens are spherical with approximately 188 microns diameter. The fruit is a capsule up to 18 centimetres (7.1 in) long with pentagonal cross-section, containing numerous seeds.

The species is a perennial, often cultivated as an annual in temperate climates, often growing to around 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall. As a member of the Malvaceae, it is related to such species as cotton, cocoa, and hibiscus. The leaves are 10–20 centimetres (3.9–7.9 in) long and broad, palmately lobed with 5–7 lobes. The flowers are 4–8 centimetres (1.6–3.1 in) in diameter, with five white to yellow petals, often with a red or purple spot at the base of each petal. The pollens are spherical with approximately 188 microns diameter. The fruit is a capsule up to 18 centimetres (7.1 in) long with pentagonal cross-section, containing numerous seeds.

Tubers are round, creamish white with shallow eyes. This variety is suitable for processing when grown in warmer areas of central plains. The variety carries moderate resistance to early and late blight. It is immune to wart, has wider adaptability and slow rate of degeneration. Average yield is 200-250 q/ha in hills and 300q/ha in plains.

Dhanraj Drumstick has a canopy of only 2.00 2.5m in height. It flowers early in 7-8 months, is high yielding (250 -300 pods/plant/year) and of good cooking quality.

This variety is developed by Anna Pannai, Kudumianmalai of Pudukottai. The tree is bushy and starts bearing pods from the sixth month after planting for up to two to three years. Each plant produces 400 to 450 fruits per year, giving a very high yield.

PKM1 is an early variety of bushy form and medium to dwarf size, reaching a height of 4 m in the first year after planting and it regrows rapidly after cropping. The leaves are wide and dark green on the upper side and pale green on the lower side. This variety is suitable for leaf production in high intensity cultivation and may be the most widely planted variety for large scale plantation drumstick production. It can produce flowers within 3-4 months of sowing, and the first pods in just 6-7 months. Though the flowers are in clusters of 25150 per cluster, only one pod usually develops, rarely 24. The pods attain an edible size 65 days after flowering, are 45 75 cm long, of uniform length and color, tender even in late harvest, and good tasting. Their flexible form reduces breakage and they have an extended shelf life. Each tree produces 200-400 pods.

PKM2 is an improvement over PKM-1 with more lateral branching, desirable for production of more leaves at a lower height for ease of harvesting, and pods with more flesh than seeds. It produces an average of 240 fruits per tree with an average yield of 98 tonnnes/ha. The pods can be harvested in 7-8 months from planting and are long, about 125-130 cm with a girth of 8.40 cm and an average weight about 280 g. They are fleshy (70% flesh), with lower fiber and good cooking quality. Each tree produces about 220 pods per tree and they have an average pod yield of 98 tons per hectare, seeds less than 1 ton.

This is a perennial variety from Sri Lanka. This variety produces flowers throughout the year and bears pods throughout the year. Pods tips are red.

Kufri Pukhraj potatoes are medium to large in size and are oval to oblong with a slightly lumpy shape. Its light brown to gold skin is smooth and is known for its wax-like texture. When cooked, Kufri Pukhraj potatoes have a tender texture and a mild and earthy flavor.
