Description |
"The okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is commercially important annual vegetable crop in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. It belongs to family Malvaceae. It is also known as Bhendi or Lady's Finger. Its tender green fruits are used as a vegetable and are generally marketed in the fresh condition, but sometimes in canned or dehydrated form. Okra is rich in vitamins, calcium, potassium and mineral matters.The nutritional value of okra (per 100 g edible portion) contains the major elements like moisture (89.6 g), carbohydrate (6 .4 g), protein (1.9 g), iron (1.5 g), sodium (6.9 g), potassium (10.3 g), fibre (1.2 g), calcium (66 mg), magnesium (43 mg), phosphorus (56 mg), sulphur (30 mg), vit-A (88 IU) and vit- C (13 mg)" "The present investigation, MGenetic variability, correlation and path analysis in okra (Abe/moschus esculentus (L.) Moench)"" was undertaken in kharif season, 2011 on the Farm of Chilli and Vegelable Research Unit (CVRU), Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola in Randomized Block Design with three replications on fifty genotypes and local varieties collected from Chilli and Vegetable Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola; National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), Akola; Marathwada Agriculture University, Agril. Botany, Parbhani and Gadchiroli (Korchi). Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for different morphological characters. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). The high values of GCV and PCV observed for primary branches per plant, yield per plant, yield per hectare, protein content and number of fruits per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for yield per plant, Yield per hectare and leaf area. The yie ld per plant was significant and positively correlated with plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of fruiting nodes per plant, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight and length of fruit. leaf area , days to first harvest, diameter of fruit and moisture content were significantly and negatively correlated with yield per plant. Path coefficient analysis indicated that average fruit weight, diameter of fruit, plant height, length of fruit, leaf area and number of fruits per plant showed high positive direct effects as the major yield contributing traits, for enhancing the yield of okra. Based on direct and indirect effects of different yield components on yield , it would be rewarding to give stress on the number of fruits per plant, number of fruiting nodes per plant, average fruit weight, length of fruit and plant height, while formulating selection indices for improvement of yield in okra." |
