Abstract


The heritability, genotypic co-efficient of variation, phenotypic co-efficient of variation and genetic advance as per centage of mean were assessed from 30 varieties of Sesamum. The varieties showed highly significant differences in mean values for all the characters studied during the two seasons. All the plant characters except grain yield per plant and total number of capsules per plant showed very high heritability. The genotypic and phenotypic co-efficients of variation were very low for capsule length. A high genetic advance was noticed in respect of height at which first capsule formed., number of primary branches and the number of secondary branches".
