Abstract

Sesame is one of the important oilseed crops grown for its rich source of oil. The presence of antioxidants viz., sesamin and sesamolin increases the shelf life of the oil and no other vegetable oil possesses this type of phenomenon. The oil also contains vitamin E, hence a good nourishment to the skin. Although the quality of oil is unique, the productivity in India has been fluctuating around 300kg/ha. against the world average of 410 kg./ha. and China's average of 1050 kg/ha. Therefore an attempt was made to increase the seed yield by developing a variety better than the existing ones
