PATH ANALYSIS STUDIES IN OKRA [ABELMOSCHUSESCULENTUS (L.) MOENCH]Ullangula Sravanthi, B. Neeraja Prabhakar, P. Saidaiah, A. Manohar Rao,D. Lakshmi Narayana and G. SathishAbstract The experiment was evaluated with thirty two okra genotypes in Randomized Block Design (RBD) withtwo replications. Thirteen characters were measured for randomly selected plants for path analysis. Pathanalysis studies revealed high direct effect of days to initiation for first flowering, number of branches perplant, fruit length, weight of fruit and number of fruits per plant also recorded desirabledirection withyield. Hence, the genotypes which exhibited better performance for these characters can be used in furtherimprovement of okra. |
