Field and laboratory experiments conducted at the BPI, LGNCRDC [La Granja National Crop Research and Development Center], La Carlota City [Philippines] in 1990-92 further evaluated the growth and yield performance of 5 varieties/strains of sesame and maintained those with outstanding characteristics and high quality oil; determined the effect of different packaging materials on seed viability, oil quality and resistance to storage pests and found out which of these varieties/strains maintained good seed viability and high quality oil and resisted storage pests up to 6 months (short term storage) under ordinary room conditions. No significant differences on yield existed among varieties/strains but there was on length and diameter of capsules and number of branches per plant. All varieties strains were resistant to insect pests and highly resistant to diseases in the field. Seed moisture content and viability decreased while free fatty acid increased on all varieties/strains in different packaging materials after 6 months of storage. Thailand White in muslim cloth bag and synthetic sack and Japanese White and Sta. Theresa Brown in muslim cloth bag showed moderate resistance while those packed in other packaging materials were highly resistant to rice moth. Only Sta. Theresa Brown in tin can was moderately susceptible to red flour beetle
