Character Association and Path Analysis for Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) Yield, Fruit Quality and Resistance to Yellow Vein Mosaic

Objective: To find the best parents for desirable traits, particularly earliness, yield, and fruit quality, as well YVMV (Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus) resistance, in order to create novel hybrids or varieties.
 Experimental Design: The experiment was carried out using a randomised block design with three replications.
 Place Duration of Experiment: study conducted 2016 kharif seasons at Department Horticulture's field experimentation centre Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology, Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.). At 78 metres above mean sea level, this location is situated between 25.87° N latitude 81.15° E longitude. experimental area's soils have sandy loam texture, are moderately drained, include provision ground water irrigation.
 Methodology: 25 genotypes were collected Trail during season. grow crop, good agricultural methods used. Plant height (cm), number branches/plant, leaves/plant, first flowering (in days), 50% node, length diameter fresh weight (g), fruits/plant, yield/plant yield/plot incidence (%), severity crude observations be recorded five randomly chosen plants from each genotype replication calculate genetic correlation coefficient analysis, data subjected statistical analysis. Miller et al. algorithm used determine phenotypic coefficients.
 Results: Based on analysed data, substantial positive connection Days First Flowering (0.94) Fruit Weight (g) Yield/plant found (0.91). Demonstrating that okra could experience real improvement thanks these characteristics. both genotypic levels, demonstrated highest beneficial direct impact yield per plant. Kashi Satdhari had lowest followed by Vardan (16.38%), whereas 151-10-1-2-3 (79.17%), Larem-1 (75.31%).
 Conclusion: A very strong significant Yield/plant. Negative association Incidence % indicates decreases increase %.Fruit showed maximum effect plant level indicating effective through characters achieved okra.
