Mean performance of yield and its attributing characters in germplasm of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

Abstract

The present study was conducted at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya during the rainy season of 2022-23. The objective of this study is to find out the genetic variability within the genotypes. Plant material consisted of 31 genotypes of okra including 1 check namely Kashi Pragati in randomized block design of 45x30 cm2 with three replications. Evaluation was done for different yield and quality traits. Among the test entries, range for total pod yield (q/ha) varied from 87.04 to 227.36 and it was highest in NDO-23-19 followed by NDO-23-30, NDO-23-24, NDO-23-21 and other 9 more performed better over the check.
