The seeds of okra cultivars Arka Anamika, Arka Abhy, Pusa Sawani and a few local cultivars were treated with Goucho (imidacloprid) combined with fungicides, i.e. Anucop-5 (copper oxychloride), Dithane M-45 (mancozeb 75%), Vitavax (carboxin 75%), Captan (kohicap 50%), and Bavistin (carbendazim 50%), and their efficacy was tested against some seedborne fungal diseases. Goucho + Bavistin, Goucho + Bavistin + Captan, Goucho + Anucop + Captan, Goucho + Vitavax + Anucop were superior in improving the crop stand both in greenhouse and field conditions (Mysore, Karnataka, India). These combinations increased the biomass of plants, total number of leaves and fruits, total number of seeds per fruit, 1000 seed weight and ascorbic acid content. In contrast, these combinations reduced the incidence of seed mycoflora and indirectly enhanced the seed germination percentage and vigour index of the seedlings.
