Abstract:
Twenty sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes including checks were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with two replication at Oilseeds Research Station, Latur during three environments viz. summer (2021), kharif (2021) and rabi (2021-22). The data were recorded on the characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, length of capsule, number of seeds per capsule, 1000 seed weight (g), oil content (%) and seed yield per plant (g). In pooled analysis of variance for stability the genotypes, environments, environment (linear) and pooled deviations showed significant differences for most of the characters studied, indicating divergent environments and the importance of non-linear component in the genotype-environment interaction. The genotypes TBS-09 and TS-14 were found stable for average environmental condition, TBS-07, TS-11 and TS-14 were found stable for favourable environmental condition and TBS-10, TBS-12 and JLT-408(c) were found stable for poor environmental condition.
