Abstract
Changes in seed quality during development on the mother plant were investigated in okra.
Mass maturity (the end of the seed-filling period) occurred 31 days after anthesis at which seed moisture content was around 71%. Maximum seed quality assessed by germination, emergence and rapid ageing test was recorded 52 days after anthesis.
Maturation drying reduced seed moisture content to 12% at this harvest.
Extreme delays in harvest did cause seed loss by shattering.
