Description

This is a reference book which reveals genetic expression of okra hybrids, its combining ability and gene action. In reference to genetic analysis, data were collected for earliness and yield components and further utilized for identifying best combiner and its gene action. The analysis exhibited extreme significant genetic variation for most of the yield components. Current research findings on Okra improvement have been incorporated in the book. Days to first flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit length and fruit yield are found effective traits for genetic analysis of okra. Present book is originally written for Vegetable breeder, research scholar and those persons who are interested in okra hybrid breeding.The book content would be valuable for advance okra breeding programmes especially for earliness and HYVs.
