Abstract

The Present experiment was conducted on study of correlation and path analysis in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) Genotypes was carried out during Rabi season are sown in October month, in the year 2021-22. The study was under taken on 37 genotypes of okra using randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. From correlation studies , it was observed from that fruit yield per plant registered positive significant correlation plant height (0.7038 P, 0.7191 G), number of primary branches (0.6308 P, 0.6529 G), internodal length (0.5986 P, 0.6255 G), fruit length (0.3727 P, 0.3883 G), number of seeds per fruit (0.4039 P, 0.4258 G), number of fruits per plant (0.7977 P, 0.8229 G), seeds weight per fruit (0.3750 P, 0.3942 G), test weight (0.3575 P, 0.3704 G), germination percent (0.3096 P, 0.3356 G), seedling dry weight (0.2877 P, 0.2966 G), vigour index I (0.2764 P, 0.2955 G), vigour index II (0.3669 P, 0.3823 G) and chlorophyll content (0.7795 P, 0.8005 G) were also recorded. The results of a Path analysis showed that the following characters had a positive direct effect on pod yield per plant, plant height, fruit length, fruit diameter, number of fruits per plant, seeds weight per fruit, test weight, germination (%), seedling length, vigour index II, and chlorophyll content.

Keywords

Okra, genotypes, correlation, path coefficient

Conclusion

Result showed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the character studied and genetic variation less than phenotypic variance showed the highest genotypic variance plant height (cm), number of primary branches, number of fruits per plant and vigour index-II there is also significant correlation genotypic, phenotypic and environmental is number of fruits for plant. Path coefficient the number of fruits per plant had the highest positive direct effect followed by plant height (cm), number of primary branches.
