An investigation on hybrid seed production was undertaken in Karif season 2014-15 to study the effect of crossing ratio of male to female flower (IC-550848 × Arka Anamika) on seed yield and quality of F1 hybrid okra. Among the crossing ratios, maximum fruit set percentage (42.75), 100 seed weight (6.60 g), number of seeds per fruit (60.00), seed yield per plant (27.61 g), germination (91.85 %) and vigour index (3249) were noticed in crossing ratio of 1:4 (male : female) compared to 1:2, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10.
