Association Analysis in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

ABSTRACT

Character association and path analysis between yield and its contributing traits were studied in 54 sesame genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed the existence of significant differences among genotypes for all characters studied. Seed yield was significant positively correlated with number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, test weight and plant height. Path coefficient analysis indicated that number of seeds per capsule, number of capsules per plant was important traits to be considered for realizing the improvement in yield.
