Studies on "In vitro screening of okra germplasm/ accessions against sucking pests" were undertaken at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai. Thirty okra accessions were screened against sucking pests' viz., aphids, jassids, and whiteflies. The results showed that accessions IC 15027 showed resistant level, IC 90202, IC 90203, IC 90213, IC 90214 found to be moderately resistant to sucking pests.
