Abstract
Eight exotic varieties viz. Super okra, Stone ville, Hy bee 200,
Mex. 3, Delfos 8274, Delfos 531, G.25V and Acala 4-42 were crossed
with one local variety AC 134, to determine their heterotic potential
m various hybrid combinations. Of eight, 5F; hybrids yielded
significantly higher than their better parents. Heterosis observed
was 75.6%, 31.4%, 28.1%, 25.6% and 7.9% for yield of seedcotton,
boll weight, number of sympodial branches, number of bolls and
plant height respectively.
