Abstract: An effort was made to create and assess the variability through hybridization using parameters like PCV, GCV, heritability, genetic advance and to figure out the inter-relationships among the yield components for fruit yield/plant with path and correlation analysis in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench). The present experiment is comprised of two parents; female VRO-6 and male AOL-09-02, its F1 and F2 population. The material was evaluated in non-replicated trial as segregating F2 generation is involved. Observations were recorded on twelve characters showing considerable variability. PCV was higher than the respective GCV for all the traits. The high magnitude of PCV and GCV was observed for number of branches/plant at final harvest followed by fruit yield/plant, internodal length, number of fruits/plant and plant height at final harvest. High genetic advance coupled with high heritability was observed for most of the characters. It indicated that additive gene action was more important for these characters.
