Abstract

Within a species population, the amount of diversification is reflected by its genetic variability as it enumerates the genetical and environmental favour on that population. In terms of this, forty eight okra collections were field investigated in RCB design during 2022 as a summer crop. Significant difference among the collected okra accessions was statistically proven by ANOVA. Per se range for okra traits clarified the elaborate variation for fruit yield and others. As always, GCV was marked as lower than PCV which signalled the error regarding environment. Genetic advance along with heritability was noticed high for most of the traits especially yield and its related components that entrusted the selection of traits on phenotype for new trait based expectations perpetually in okra.
