abstract
The present investigation was carried out to generate information on heterosis for yield and its components in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] through line x tester analysis. The experimental materials comprised of 6 lines, 4 testers and resultant 24 hybrids along with a standard check variety GJOH-4. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Block Design with three replications for fourteen characters at Vegetable Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during summer and kharif 2021.Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among genotypes and hybrids for all the characters indicating the presence of sufficient amount of genetic variability for all the characters under study. On the basis of per se performance and standard heterosis 2017/OKYVRES-1 x HRB-108-2 was the best cross combination for fruit yield and its contributing characters followed by AOL-8-05 x Kashi Kranti.
