Study of heritability parameter in hybrids of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

Abstract

The current investigation was carried out using ten genotypes of okra and forty-five F1 hybrids obtained from these ten parent along with one check Radhika. During season 2021-22 the crosses was made among the ten genotypes in 10 X 10 half diallel fashion mating. The crossing resulted in the development 45 hybrid progeny. The effected 45 F1 hybrids and ten parents along with one checks were planted during summer and kharif of season 2022-23 under Randomised Block Design along with two replications. The research conducted at All India Coordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. Various characters are used to analysed the progeny and parents by estimating the heritability parameters. It was resulted in all character that are under study shoes the non-additive gene action implies to heterosis breeding and recurrent selection for further improvement of population.
