Genetic variability and divergence in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)

Current Horticulture, 2023
An experiment comprising 19 genotypes of okra {Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench} sown in RBD with three replications was conducted during rainy season of 2019 and 2020 at Vegetable Research Farm, BUAT Banda. The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were highest for days to 50% germination and lowest ...
