Qualitative and Phenotyping Characterization among Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] Genotypes

Background: In contrast to field crops, quality is often more essential than yield in vegetable crops. As a result, this research began with the objective of assessing diversity and novelty okra genotypes. Methods: A investigation was carried out at Sivapuri Village, Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India, summer 2020-2021. To match distinctiveness, uniformity stability, qualitative data for 18 characters were collected based on vegetative reproductive characters. Result: Results obtained study revealed high level variability among genotypes majority traits, except plant growth habit, branching position, leaf blade colour between veins, fruit type seed size. The fruit-related exhibited large studied. Mature 8.3% yellowish green, 23.3% green 68.4% dark fruits recorded Based genetic variation, ultimate breeding programmes generate new varieties exhibiting elite combinations many desired attributes using traditional procedures.
