From the image, it looks like your crop is okra (ladyfinger), and the plants appear to have stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and some leaf curling. These symptoms can be caused by several factors:

Pests:

Aphids or whiteflies can cause leaf curling and stunted growth. Check the underside of leaves for small insects.

Jassids can also cause leaves to curl and yellow.

Diseases:

Powdery mildew: Usually white powdery spots on leaves, not very clear in this image.

Yellow mosaic virus: Causes yellow patches and stunted growth. Often transmitted by whiteflies.

Fungal root rot: If the soil is waterlogged, roots can rot causing weak, yellow plants.

Nutrient deficiency:

Nitrogen deficiency can lead to yellowing of older leaves and poor growth.

Potassium or magnesium deficiency can also affect leaves’ appearance.

Recommendations:

Inspect the plants closely for pests like aphids or whiteflies. If found, spray neem oil or a recommended insecticide.

Ensure proper spacing and avoid waterlogging.

Apply balanced NPK fertilizer to help recover plant growth.

Remove severely affected plants to prevent spread if it’s a viral disease.
