Variability studies in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)

Genetic Assessment for Fruit Yield and Horticultural Traits in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

“…Improvement of these traits through straight selection might not give desirable results. Similar results were obtained by earlier workers in case of fruit yield per plant (Mallesh et al, 2015 andChandramouli et al, 2016a), fruits per plant (Khajuria et al, 2015 andKerure et al,2017), nodes per plant (Chandramouli et al, 2016a andGoswami et al, 2016), plant height (Sawant et al, 2014 andKerure et al, 2017), first fruit producing node (PhaniKrishna et al, 2015 andKerure et al, 2017), internodal length (Badiger et al, 2017), average fruit weight (Mallesh et al, 2015;Badiger et al, 2017 andKerure et al, 2017), days to first picking (Badiger et al, 2017), harvest duration (Duggi et al, 2013), fruit length (Karri and Acharyya, 2012;Kerure et al, 2017) and fruit diameter (Karri and Acharyya, 2012).…”

Morphological Characterization of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

“…All the genotypes had 5 ridges per fruit except Japan Round and Japan Thick (Table 2). Similar results have been reported by (Chandra et al, 2014;Sawant et al, 2014;Khajuria et al, 2015;Bagwale et al, 2016;Patil et al, 2016;Badiger et al, 2017 andThulasiram et al, 2017). From above information, it is clear that there exists a considerable scope in the parent material studied for identifying desirable genotypes since significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the traits studied.…”

Genetic Variability Analysis for Traits in Okra (Abelmoschus esculents L. Moench) Genotypes

“…The findings of high GCV and PCV were supported by Demelie et al [40], Raval et al [41], Verma et al [42], Chavan et al [43], Melaku et al [37], and Sravanthi et al [44] for the number of primary branches per plant, by Bello et al [17], Sravanthi [45], Adewusi and Adeweso [46], and Sravanthi et al [44] for the number of fruit per plant, by Bello et al [17], Singh et al [47], Adewusi and Adeweso [46], and Sravanthi et al [44] for fruit length, by Bello et al [17], International Journal of Food Science and Agriculture Khajuria et al [48], and Sravanthi [45] for fruit weight and by Bello et al [17], Sravanthi [45], Raval et al [41], Verma et al [42], Chavan et al [43], Kumar et al [36], Melaku et al [37], and Sravanthi et al [44] for fruit yield per plant. The results of moderate GCV and PCV show similarities with the findings of Sravanthi [45], Yadav et al [49], Adewusi and Adeweso [46], Awasthi et al [50], and Rai et al [34] for plant height, of Goswami et al [51] for the number of nodes per plant, and Yadav et al [49], Demelie et al [40], Singh et al [47], and Melaku et al [37] for the number of ridges per fruit. For fruit diameter, similar moderate GCV was also observed by Demelie et al [40], Melaku et al [37], Awasthi et al [50], and high PCV by Goswami et al…”
