A study was made to refix the isolation distance requirement for okra (Abelmosclus esculentus L.) seed production. Red pigmentation character of CV'CO, was used as marker. Plants of CV Pusa Sawani' were raised at different distances from the contaminant source (Plants of CV'COI). Progenies of 'Pusa Sawani' plants were observed for the occurrence of pigmented plants. Out-crossing could be recorded only upto 30m in two trials. It is suggested that the isolation distance for okra seed production can be refixed as 30m for certified and 50m for foundation seed classes.
