GENETIC DIVERSITY STUDIES IN OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench

The present investigation was under taken to study “Genetic Diversity and Variability Studies in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)”. with 52 genotypes of okra. The experiment was conducted at Breeder Seed Production Unit, VNMKV, Parbhani during kharif 2020 and observations were recorded for characters viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, number of days to first harvest, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), number of ridges per fruit, number of nodes per plant, plant height (cm), internodal length (cm), number of branches per plant, number of seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight (g) and yield per plant (g).
