Abstract:
Forty-five crosses and ten parents of sesame genotypes were grown during Kharif 2019 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) for the estimation of correlation and path coefficient analysis for seed yield and yield respective traits. Phenotypic and genotypic correlation analysis revealed that seed yield per plant expressed a positive significant association with days to 50% flowering, number of primary branches per plant, days to flower initiation, days to maturity, 1000 seed weight, capsule length, oil content and number of secondary branches per plant. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the seed yield per plant expressed a positive direct effect with number of capsules per plant followed by days to maturity, number of seeds per capsule, oil content, number of primary branches per plant, harvest index, 1000-seed weight and plant height.
