The present study is aimed to estimate general combining ability of the parents and specific combining ability of hybrids for fruit yield and its attributing traits in okra. Combining ability analysis revealed that the mean squares due to general and specific combining ability were important for inheritance of various traits. However, the magnitude of GCA variance were higher than SCA variance for most of the characters except number of internodes per plant, fruit weight, total sugar and total phenol indicating pre ponderance of additive type gene action for inheritance of these traits. | Combining ability analysis for fruit yield and its attributing traits in okra Abelmoschus esculentus L.
