Despite the significance of Okra cultivation in the society, the effective management of its post-harvest diseases poses a considerable challenge to plant pathologists. The study will inveestigate spoilage bacteria associated with Okra fruits during post-harvest storage. Okra fruits would be purchased from three (3) local markets (Ogwagbe, Areghona and Oba market) in Owo, Nigeria and examined for bacteria contamination using morphological (macro- and microscopic) identification. The highest-occurring bacterial genera would be determined. The frequency of occurrence of the bacteria would be a pointer to determining the post-harvest handling of Okra.
