Abstract:
The Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a significant vegetable crop and is classified under the Malvaceae family. Okra is an African word native to North Africa, including the region between Ethiopia and Sudan. It is a summer and monsoon plant growing from the tropics to the subtropics. Okra has a few other financial employments moreover. White peered toward black or brown seeds of the develop natural product are now and then broiled and utilized as a substitute for coffee powder. The seeds are moreover a source of an edible oil contained to the degree of 20 percent. This trial was carried out to evaluate the Study on Genetic heritability, variability and genetic advances in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) during the Kharif season of 2022-23 at the CRC-1 Farm, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior Madhya Pradesh.). The experimental material comprised of eighteen genotypes including check, which were collected from different source are grown in Gwalior Chambal region which comes under Grid Region of Agro-climatic zone. The genotypes were grown in a randomized block design with three replicates during Kharif season keeping row to row distance of 45 cm and plant to plant distance of 10 cm while seeds are placed about 2 cm deep during the year 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that the Out of eighteen genotypes VRO-4, PUSA MAKHMALI, AZAD BHINDI-2, PUSA SAWANI, HRB-9-2 from ITM University Gwalior (M.P), were found superior for yield and this germplasm may be recommended for large scale cultivation in Gwalior region and these superior genotypes can be used in breeding programme.
