ABSTRACT
Twenty four accessions of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) were collected from different sources and evaluated at the Vegetable Research Farm, Maharajpur, Department of Horticulture, JNKVV, Jabalpur during 2014 and 2015. Correlation coefficient of fruit yield per plant recorded highly significant and positive with number of fruit yield per plant and fruit diameter. Seven traits viz., plant height , number of leaves, days to 50% flowering, no. of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per plot has Eigen value more than 0.5 and highest variation was observed in PC 1 (26.77%). Among the genotypes i.e. 2013/OKHYB-6, 2013/OKHYB-4 and 2013/OKHYB-7 have yield enhancing genes that can be used as direct selection or in hybridization for improvement of okra.
