Presently okra is grown in an area of twenty three thousand hectares and production is estimated at about metric tonnes. The major problem in okra is yellow vein mosaic virus. The main area is occupied by hybrids from private sector. Different cultivars require different climatic condition and the performance of these entries depend on their adoptability to a particular climate and soil conditions. Hence, the present investigation was done with an objective to evaluate the performance of hybrids from public and private sector in Vertisols of AP during kharif season at Horticultural Research Station, Lam. | Evaluation of okra hybrids in vertisols of Andhra Pradesh, India
