    A study was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani during Kharif 1983 with fifteen intervarietal, hybrids of bhindi and their parents, aimed at estimating the heterosis manifested by the hybrids and selecting superior ones displaying economic attributes. Study of variability in the population, heritability , and genetic advance with respect to important economic characters along with fruit quality attributes, and association among the characters also formed part of the objectives. The hybrids were obtained in a diallel cross without reciprocals among the single generation inbreds o f six genetically diverse cultivars, originally selected from a germplasm of 57 accessions. The six parents and fifteen hybrids ware evaluated during 1983 in an RBD with three replications . The characters studied included thirteen quantitative traits and four fruit quality attributes
