| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes for seed yield and other traits under rainfed conditions” was conducted during Kharif, 2016 to evaluate 24 genotypes of sesame to determine the magnitude of variability for various morphological and seed quality parameters as well as to study the character association between seed yield and its contributing traits. Analysis of variance revealed considerable amount of variability among genotypes for most of the characters under study. Among morphological traits, GCV & PCV were highest for seed yield per plant and harvest index. High to moderate heritability (broad sense) was recorded for most of the traits under study while high genetic advance as per cent of mean coupled with high heritability (broad sense) were observed for number of branches per plant, biological yield per plant, harvest index and seed yield per plant. Seed yield per plant showed significant and positive correlation with number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, 1000- seed weight, biological yield per plant and harvest index while standard germination showed significant and positive correlation with all the seed quality traits. Harvest index, biological yield per plant, number of seeds per capsule and number of capsules per plant had positive direct effect on seed yield per plant. So, combined results of correlation coefficient and path analysis revealed that number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, harvest index and biological yield per plant are major components of seed yield and shoot length, seedling length and seedling vigour index I are major components of standard germination. | en_US |
