Abstract

The present study was carried out on twenty genotypes of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] with view to find out the correlation and path co efficient values among the seed yield components. Fruit yield/plant had significant positive association with number of fruits/plant and number of first fruiting node, whereas it exhibited significant negative association with days to flowering. Fruit yield/plant high positive direct effect on seed yield/plant indicating direct selection based on these characters would improve seed yield/plant.
