Abstract Timely irrigation at specific phenophases of crop plays an important role in agricultural water management. Understanding stage specific crop response to drought becomes important in formulating strategies to mitigate stress. Experiment was conducted to assess the sensitivity of okra in terms of growth, biomass partitioning, leaf photosynthetic parameters and spectral reflectance at different growth stages to stress exposure with known extent and duration of drought. Results revealed that vegetative and flowering stages are more sensitive to drought compared to late pod-filling stage. Drought stress affected the growth, biomass partitioning and gas exchange characteristics of okra. Significant (P
