FB-Revati F1 is an early okra hybrid on a dwarf to medium tall bushy plant with 2-3 lateral branches. Pods are set very closely on the plant - dark green, lustrous, slender and soft five-ridged - which makes picking fast and gives a clean uniform lot. Resistance to YVMV and OLCV protects the crop through the two virus seasons that most often end an okra planting early.
