COMBINING ABILITY ANALYSIS FOR YIELD COMPONENTS OF SESAME IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

Genetics of yield components was investigated from combining ability analysis of line x tester under six different environments in (Sesamum indicum). Among the parents, Si 930, Si 1669 and Si 1702 were found to be good general combiners for seed yield and other desirable traits. The hybrid combinations Si 953 x Co 1 and Si 1669 x TMV 3 were superior for yield and oil content respectively. There appeared to be a relationship between the sca effect of hybrids and their per se performance.

Keywords: Sesame, Yield Components, Environment, Combining Ability
