| Abstract: | Four testers, 16 lines and 64 F1's were used in a line × tester analysis of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). Parent—offspring correlations were high for yield per plant, number of ridges per fruit and fruit diameter with all the 4 testers. The heritability estimates were high for number of fruits, fruit length and fruit diameter. Yield had a positive and significant association with plant height, number of fruits per plant and fruit length, both in parents and hybrids. It was, therefore, suggested that number of fruits per plant and fruit length and diameter be given more consideration in selecting superior types in okra. |
