The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of okra F3 Crosses there four parents and two check Varieties for quality parameters in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Okra is often cross-pollinated and is grown primarily for its fruits, which have various culinary uses. Tender fruits are commonly boiled or used in sliced and fried dishes. Okra fruits are also dried in the sun, canned, or dehydrated for preservation during the offseason. The study was carried out at college of horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, during summer 2023-24.The analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p<0.05) among genotypes for all traits studied. Among the three crosses Cross-1 (ACC-19XACC-1) showed high fibre content, Vitamin-C and Shelf life when compare to remaining two crosses (ACC-1XACC-29) and (AACC-1XACC-39) and and there parents (ACC-1, ACC-19, ACC-29 and ACC-39) and two check varieties Arka Nikitha and Salkeerthi for quality traits and they can be used in future breeding and crop improvement program.
