In this study done on 10 diverse cultivars of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench), heterosis over superior and economics parents in 45 F1 and inbreeding depression in 45 F2 progenies were estimated. Considerable heterosis was observed for fruit yield and its components. Best five crosses, KS405 x KS404, PK x KS404, PK x KS405, PS x PK and PK x KS401, can be explvited for increasing yield over standard variety PK.
