 ABSTRACT

Thirty okra accessions were grown during the kharif seasons, 2016 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, R.A.K. College of Agriculture Sehore, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, assessed to determine their genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance from different characters. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. There was high phenotypic coefficient of variation, genotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance in traits such as LAI at 60 DAS (42.92), LAI at 90 DAS (40.25), 100 seed weight (97.22) and fruit yield per plant (69.51), suggesting the effect of additive genes and reliability of selection based on phenotype of these traits for crop improvement. The highest positive and significant phenotypic correlation observed with number of fruits per plant, number of leaves per plant, days to maturity,number of seeds per fruit and fruit girth, suggests that selection on the basis of the phenotype of these characters will lead to high seed and pod yield in okra. 

Keywords: Genetic Variability, GCV, PCV, Heritability, Genetic advance, Corelation coefficient  and Okra.
