Abstract

Magnitude of hecterosis for yield and contributing traits were studied in okra. Seven genotypes were crossed in all possible combinations resulting in 33 hybrids. Six hetrotic hybrid combinations observed were MF-3 × OHD-1, MF-3 × Varsha Uphar, MF3 × Arka Anamika, OHD-1 × Varsha Uphar, OHD-1 × Arka Anamika, Vasha Uphar × Arka Anamika, which were better over mid-parental values. Hybrid Varsha Uphar × Arka Anamika had the highest heterosis (52.22%) for yield per plant.
