The study was conducted to investigate the performance of three okra cultivars under rain-fed conditions in the Blue Nile State during kharif seasons of 2013 and 2014. Three okra cultivars (Pusa Sawani, Clemson Spineless and Khrtoumeia) were used in this study. Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications was used. The data collected included growth and yield parameters. The data collected from the experiments was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the Genstat computer package. Results showed that all cultivars were varied in growth and yield parameters. the highest plant height obtained by Pusa sawani and Clemson Spineless, the highest number of branches plant -1 obtained by khrtoumeia and Clemson Spineless, while the highest number of pods plant -1 was obtained by Pusa sawani, the highest yield tons ha -1 was recorded by the cultivars Pusa sawani and khrtoumeia.
