The occurrence of hardseedness and the low percentage of seed germination are major challenges when growing okra. For this reason, this study was conducted to determine the effects of micro elements fertilizer in relation with time of harvest and plant parts on germination behavior of cultivars of okra (Abelmoschus esculent L.). The study was carried out at Agricultural farm of Thessaly University in 2011. The design was a randomized complete block with a factorial arrangement with three replications. Four different cultivars of okra contain Boiatloy, Beloudo, Clemsson and Pleas and three treatments of micro fertilizer were studied. Results showed micro fertilizer treatment had positive effect on germination. Both level of micro fertilizer (F2 and F3) raised noticeable seed germination than control (F1). Increasing level of fertilizer from first level of fertilizer (F1) to third level of fertilizer (F3) was more effective in varieties with more seedhardness; In this case application of level three of fertilizer (F3) in Beloudo variety was more positive than other varieties. By increasing time of harvest percentage of seed germination was increased until third harvesting time (T3) and after that reduced. Level two (F2) and three (F3) of micro fertilizer had a same effect on seeds that harvested in second harvesting time (T2). Application of level three of fertilizer (F3) was more effective on seeds that harvested in three harvesting time (T3). Application level three of fertilizer (F3) on seeds in middle part of the plant produced more seed germination.
