Abstract:
Sixty-eight okra as in access were evaluated for genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance in okra at the Research Farm, Department of Agricultural Science, Shridhar University, Pilani (Rajasthan), during 2019-2020 respectively. Genetic variability analysis on 68 genotypes of okra disclosed high magnitude of genetic variability for the traits viz., pod yield and plant height under study. High magnitude of genotypic coefficient of variation for number of pod yield and plant height indicated high degree of genetic variability offering great scope for selection of these characters. The genotypes under study showed bearable heritability showed the environmental impact. High heritability coupled with high genetic gene action and more chances of fixing by selection to improve such traits. The genotypes viz., B -02, KS – 442 are noticed with great quiescent and can be utilized for enhancement of okra germplasm.
