The present investigation was conducted at the Research Farm, Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) during kharif season 2019 with objective to identify the influence of harvesting stage and drying method quality seed productions of okra. The okra cv Super Green was sown in Kharif 2019 and fruits/capsules was divided into two lots were harvested at four different maturity stages i.e. 25, 30, 35 and 40 days after anthesis (DAA) was subjected to sun drying and shade drying respectively and then seeds were extracted from the capsule for measurement of seed quality parameters. It was found that okra fruit harvested at 40 days after anthesis having significantly higher standard germination and vigour. The drying of okra seed under shade was found significantly better in all laboratory parameters than sun drying. In other way we can say that slow drying of okra seed recommended subject to optimum stage of harvest for good quality seed production.
