Abstract: Thirty three hybrids were developed by crossing seven lines and three testers in L x T fashion for twenty six parameters for productivity and quality traits. The variance due to parents vs. hybrids was also significant for all traits except plant height at 45 DAS, internodal length 45 DAS, days to first flowering, fruit diameter and seed yield per plant. The lines L7, L1 and L3 may be utilized as parent stocks for breeding for, growth parameters, earliness, yield and quality traits etc., among the hybrids L3 x T2, L7 X T2, L3 x T3, L1 x T3 and L7 x T2 showed specific combiner for almost characters as per results due to its an F₅ generation which attain homozygosity so, selection is effective for quality traits of fruits. The information presented here about quality traits of okra showed the potential nutritional importance of okra and it has role in improved nutrition.
