The correlation studies in sesame revealed that the traits viz., number of capsules on main stem as well as on branches, leaf area and shoot weight showed positive correlation with yield and an intensive selection for these traits in positive side will improve the yield automatically. When correlation among different traits were further partitioned, four traits viz.,) shoot weight, number of capsules on main stem, number of capsules on the branches and leaf area, had both direct positive effect as well as indirect influence via each other for the expression of yield. Hence, selection pressure applied on these traits individually or simultaneously will increase the productivity in sesame.
