The present investigation was conducted at the experimental research farm of the Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur, during the rabi season of 2022 (selfing) and the kharif season of 2023 (evaluation). The study aimed to explore the genetic characteristics of the F4 and F5 generations of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] derived from three crosses, employing a Randomized Block Design with two replications. Analysis of quantitative traits revealed that the genotypic coefficients of variation were consistently lower than the phenotypic coefficients, underscoring a pronounced environmental influence on trait expression. High magnitude of both genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation for number of branches per plant, number of nodes per plant, fruit yield per plant, fruit yield per plot, and fruit yield per hectare. High heritability coupled with substantial genetic advance for plant height (cm), fruit yield per hectare (q) indicated the involvement of additive gene action and more chances of fixing by selection to improve such traits in the F4 and F5 generations of the cross Kashi Pragati × Varsha Uphar (C-2: P3 × P2). These findings are detailed in Tables 1 and 2.
