Combining Ability Studies In Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Monech)

Combining ability effects were estimated for different characters of okra in a line x tester mating design, comprising 60 hybrids produced by crossing 4 lines and 15 testers. Parents and hybrids differ significantly for gca and sca effects, respectively. The hybrids Arka Abhay x IC-433675, Varsha Uphar x IC-433673, Arka anamika x IC-328942, Arka Anamika x IC-433670, Parbhani Kranthi x IC-433645 and Varsha Uphar x IC-332454 for fruit yield and most of its component traits.
