Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Main Experimental Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya during Kharif, 2019 in Randomized Block Design with three replications using thirty six genotypes of okra collected from different sources to study the correlation and path coefficients at phenotypic and genotypic levels among different quantitative characters. Characters like petiole length (0.236) average fruit weight (0.195), have positive significant and desirable association with fruit yield. Thus, there is an ample scope for improving characters through direct selection. Petiole length (0.310) average fruit weight(0.229) plant height(0.109) fruit circumference (0.032) and days to 50% flowering (0.008) were identified as most important traits which had positive direct effect on total fruit yield per plant while, the negative direct effect on yield by rest of the dependent traits were very low.
