The present investigation entitled, “Effect of Sodium azide induction of two varieties of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)” was carried out at the MGM’s Institute of Bioscience and Technology, Aurangabad. The aim of study is to see the effect of sodium azide induction of two varieties of okra, Parbhani kranti and Arka Anamika with an objectives to study the effect of SA on germination percentage (%) of different varieties of okra at different concentration of Sodium azide (SA) andto study the morphological variation between different varieties of okra at different concentration of Sodium azide (SA).It was observed that the incresing dose of sodium azide was showed adverse effect on germination percentage (%) as well as morphological characters of two different varieties of okra.The application of sodium azide at T1 (0.04% of sodium azide) showed similar results in growth parameters such as number of leaves (4.77) , plant height (4.42 cm) , fresh weight (2.43 gm) and dry weight (0.96 gm) in the variety Parbhani Kranti as compared with the contol (5.50 , 9.16 cm ,3.66 gm and 1.03 gm respectively) in the pot culture.Similarly, the application of Sodium azide at T1 (0.04% sodium azide) showed similar results in growth parameters such as number of leaves (3.76) , fresh weight (1.66 gm) and dry weight (0.46 gm) in the variety Arka Anamika as compared with the control (6.66, 2.11 gm and 0.70 gm respectively) in the pot culture.
