Correlation Analysis for Seed Yield and its Related Attributes in Genotypes of Sesame (Sesame indicum L.)

Abstract

The present study was conducted to determine the correlation coefficients among the seed yield and yield contributing characters in 65 genotypes of sesame. The seed yield per plant recorded significant and positive association with capsule length (cm), plant height (cm), number of capsules, number of seeds per capsules, 1000- seed weight (g) and oil content (%) at both phenotypic and genotypic levels. As per correlations analysis, it is concluded that, the selection for these characters can be helpful for improving the yield potential of sesame.
