Abstract

Correlation of yield and some physiological traits in sesame was estimated in six parents and their thirty hybrids which were obtained through a full diallel crossing programme. In general, the genotypic correlations were higher than phenotypic ones. Single plant yield had high positive association with harvest index, number of capsules and days to flowering both at phenotypic and genotypic level. The traits like days to first flowering, plant height, number of capsules and harvest index were mutually correlated with each other.

Keywords: Sesame, physiological traits, harvest index, correlation
