PER SE PERFORMANCE OF PARENTS AND HYBRIDS IN SESAME

Abstract

                                Per se performance of eight sesame genotypes and the resultant 56 hybrids when crossed in diallel fashion was studied for 20 characters. Maximum seed yield per plant was recorded by TSS 4 (14.97 g) among the parents and Si 1125 x TSS 4 (15.53 g) among the hybrids. The parents TSS 4, TSS 5 and Co 1 with high seed yield also recorded high values for many other yield components. The best yielding hybrids which recorded high mean values for yield components were Si 1125 x TSS 4, Co 1 x Si 1003, TSS 4 x TSS 5, TSS 5 x TSS 4 and TSS 4 x Co 1.

Key words : Sesame, Per se performance.
