Correlation and Path Coefficient Studies in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis of Fruits Yield and Yield Attributes in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

“…Such high association between fruit yield per plant, number of fruits per plant and average fruit weight was reported by Bendale et al, (2003), Jaiprakashnarayan and Mulge (2004), Somasekhar et al, (2011) and Reddy et al, (2013) in okra. The results of the present study on plant height, fruit length and fruit girth were in conformity with Niranjan and Mishra (2003), Singh et al, (2006) and Yonus et al, (2014) in okra. The results of the present study also revealed negative association of fruit yield per plant with internodal length and days to first flowering.…”

“…Internodal length showed positive and significant correlation with last harvest, fruit length, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per fruit, number of pickings and iodine content (Table 1). Similar results were reported by Singh et al, (2006) and Reddy et al, (2013).…”

“…Fruit length showed positive and significant correlation with fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight, number of pickings and iodine content, while it exhibited negative and significant correlation with crude fibre content and protein content. Similar results were reported by Singh et al, (2006) and Reddy et al, (2013).…”

“…while it exhibited negative and significant correlation with days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to first harvest and yellow vein mosaic virus disease incidence per cent. Singh et al, (2006) also recorded negative and significant correlation of plant height with fruit girth among 19 diverse okra genotypes. Number of branches showed positive and significant correlation with internodal length, last harvest, fruit length, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per fruit, 100 seed weight, number of pickings and iodine content.…”

Varietal performance and correlation of okra pod yield and yield components

“…The greatest average values for the number of pods per plant and the number of primary branches per plant were noted for Salkade and Y'ar gagure, while the highest fresh pod length and fresh pod diameter were exhibited by Salkade and Kwadag. [24,25] earlier observed significant differences among the okra accessions for the number of primary branches per plant, which implied that the collected cultivars were phenotypically different. The mean fresh pod length and fresh pod diameter ranged between 11.49 and 14.88 cm and between 1.22 and 1.84 cm respectively.…”
