Path of productivity analysis in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) moench)

Path of productivity analysis in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) was studied during kharif 2010–11 for fruit yield and its components characters. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the parents and hybrids. Greater variability in the parents indicated possibility of getting higher heterosis in the progenies. Days to first flowering, days to 50 per cent flowering and fruit diameter exhibited least average expression. The genotypes had positive values for fruit yield per hectare, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, plant height, fruit length, fruit diameter, 100 seed weight, number of branches per plant and days to first flowering, while most of the genotypes showed least deviation for days to 50 per cent flowering and fruit diameter.
