Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at New Orchard, Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, during late Kharif 2021-22 using thirty-one okra genotypes and laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. In okra fruit yield is dependent character and it controlled by many other characters. Fruit yield per plant had a positive and significant association with the number of fruits per plant, plant height, number of nodes per plant, internodal length, chlorophyll content, harvesting period, stem girth, fruit length, first flowering node, number of leaves per plant and leaf area index. Hence, these traits can be used as selection criteria in okra breeding for high yield.

Conclusion

Fruit yield per plant had a positive and significant association with the number of fruits per plant, plant height, number of nodes per plant, internodal length, chlorophyll content, harvesting period, stem girth, fruit length, first flowering node, number of leaves per plant and leaf area index. Hence, these traits can be used as selection criteria in okra breeding for high yield.
