The present study was carried out to Genetic Variability in twelve varieties of Okra (Abelmoschus
esculentusL. Moench)under in-vivo conditions. The analysis of variance for thirteen characters
in twelve genotypes of okra was observed in triplicates. Results elucidated that highest significant
genotypic differences were observed for all the characters including number of leaves and days
to germination. It was observed for yield per plant followed by days to 50% flowering, plant
height and number of seeds per fruit, while weight of fruit (2.3) and days to germination (%)
recorded minimizing genotypic variance. In the present investigation, the fruit yield per plant
showed positive and highly significant correlation with number of seeds per fruit, length of
fruit, fruit girth, and number of fruits, plant and weight of fruits at both genotypic and phenotypic
levels. Plant height also showed negative and significant correlation with days to germination,
length of fruits, fruit girth and weight of fruit.
