The study was undertaken to screen okra genotypes for resistance against yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) at research farm of SKUAST Jammu. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replications by accommodating 60 genotypes at a spacing of 60 x 45 cm in 3 x 3 meter size plot. The observations were recorded from 10 selected plants from each genotype in each replication. The results reveal that based on severity index, 20 genotypes were found to be highly resistant, one resistant and ten were moderately resistant to YVMV. On the other hand, 19 genotypes were highly susceptible and nine were susceptible to YVMV under agro-climatic conditions of Jammu.
