dc.description.abstractThe present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic variability in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] under low hills of Himachal Pradesh” was carried out during kharif season of 2022 at Experimental Farm of Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur (H.P). Nineteen genotypes including check variety P-8 were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications to estimate the extent of variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation and path coefficient analysis for yield and other horticultural traits. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the horticultural traits studied. The genotypes LC-109, LC-101 and LC-102 recorded more yield over check variety P-8 and also performed better for majority of the characters viz., fruit length, fruit diameter, average fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plot. The estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were high for plant height and fruit yield per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean was observed for plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per plot. The correlation studies at genotypic and phenotypic levels revealed that fruit yield per plot exhibited significant and positive correlation with leaf length, leaf width, fruit length, plant height, fruit diameter, average fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, hundred seed weight, number of seeds per fruit, harvest duration and fruit yield per plant. The path coefficient analysis indicated that number of fruits per plant observed maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plot followed by fruit diameter, leaf length, average fruit weight,harvest duration, number of seeds per fruit and fruit yield per plant. Therefore, selection for these traits would be more effective for improvement of fruit yield in okra.
