The evaluation was conducted to check the variabilityamong okra genotype total 14 okra genotypes viz. IIVR-11, BO-2, Pusa Makhmali, HRB-55, Parbhani Kranti, VRO-109, Panjab Padmini, Pusa Sawani, Lam-1, Kashi Kranti, Arka Abhay, Kashi Satdhari, EMS-8-1 and Punjab -8 were selected for evaluation. Most of the evaluated genotypes found better for the okra breeding improvement programme during the study.
