Six okra lines, Pusa Sawani, HB-55, HB-57, HB-22-2, Sel-2-2 and Punjab Padmini were crossed in a full diallel to estimate genetic components. Variation due to additive components was found controlling first fruiting node, clays to 50 per cent flowering, number of branches per plant and plant height-However, early and total yield per plant showed preponderance of dominance components over the additive components. Over dominance was observed for number of fruits per plant, fruit size, number of seeds/per fruit, early and total yield per plant. Estimates of heritability was high for first fruiting node and number of branches per plant.
