The experiment comprising 30 okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) genotypes were grown and analysed for yield and its attributing traits at the Department of Vegetable science, Kumarganj, Faizabad during Zaid (2011) period. All the characters studied showed a wide range of variation. The variability for yield among the accessionsevaluated was also remarkable. The magnitude phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation for all traits. Both phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) were high for plant height (11.10 and 10.60, respectively). Fruit weight exhibited low value of GCV (2.31) and PCV (4.74) and likely to show less response under selection. High heritability (91.3) with high genetic advance (26.74) was recorded for plant height, whereas, ridges per fruit had high heritability (97.0) with moderate genetic advance (18.45). This study aimed to evaluate okra genotypes for variability with a view to providing information on the development of high yielding genotypes to meet the growing food demand of the populace.

Field experiments were conducted in two locations at the University Teaching and Research Farms during 2016/2017 dry season. The two locations were: Fadama Teaching and Research farm at Jega (lat. 12°12.99’ N; long. 4° 21.90’; 197m above sea level) and the University orchard at Aliero (lat. 12°18.64’N; long. 4°29.85’; 262 above sea level). Both Jega and Aliero are located within Sudan Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria. The aim was to determine the response of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L. Moench) Varieties to sole and combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer. The treatments consisted of factorial combination of three Okra varieties (LD 88, NHAE47-4 and Dogo variety) and six (6) fertilizers levels, each designed to supply the recommended dosage of 120 kg N ha-1 using a compound fertilizer NPK [15:15:15], poultry manure and cow dung. Results revealed that growth and yield parameters such as plant height (8WAP), number of branches (8WAP), number of pods per plant, pod mean weight (g), pod mean length (cm) and fresh pod yield (ha-1) were significantly increased when the recommended nitrogen dose of 120kgNha-1 was applied using 100% NPK (800kg NPK [15:15:15/ha]) or a combination of NPK and PM at 50:50 ratio in conjunction with NHAE47-4. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that the integration of organic and inorganic fertilizer in form of NPK compound fertilizer and poultry manure combination at 50:50 ratio in conjunction with NHAE47-4 could be adopted for higher Okra pod yield, considering the complimentary role of poultry manure in improving the physical quality of the soil.

In the present investigation, the four cross combinations of Punjab Padmini X Panruti local, Dharmapuri local X Panruti local, Punjab Padmini X Parbanikranthi and Dharmapuri local X Parbanikranthi and three bhendi populations, BIP, F2, and F3, were developed in 2019, and these populations were evaluated in 2020 to determine the extent of genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance for twelve bhendicharacters. Significant variances in BIP compared to the population of F2 and F3 in most characters have been noted that showed high mean and wider variations in PCV and GCV in fruit length, number of fruits per plant and plant yield. High heritability of BIPS was revealed by Punjab Padmini x Parbanikranthi for the traits viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit girth and fruit yield per plant which revealed the importance of additive gene action for these traits. This is indicative of both additive and non-additive gene action (dominance and epistasis). Hence, selection could not be practiced in the immediate segregating generations. These two characters also showed unfavourable association with fruit yield per plant in BIPs which indicated that all the unfavourable linkages were not broken down through intermating in the early segregating generation. Thus, selection should be postponed to later generations after intermating in one or two subsequent to obtain potential recombinants.
