Summary
Okra fruit/pod is one of the widely consumed vegetable in sub-tropical part of the world. In Nigeria, there are several yield and production challenges involving the cultivation of poor genotypes. In this study, field trials were carried out for local Okra cultivar in two locations within the Savannah agro ecological zone of Nigeria during the 2011/2012 cropping season to evaluate the extend of variability and character association in some selected quantitative traits. The result reveals wide variability in some yield traits, with growth contributing factors playing significant role within the two locations. A strong genotype-environment interaction affecting the yield performance of the local cultivar was also observed.
