Khader, A. | Nair, V.G. (College of Agriculture, Vellayani (India))
Fifteen genotypes of sesame were evaluated in replicated trials at two locations viz., upland during rabi at Vellayani and rice fallow during summer at Kayamkulam. The variety No. 42-1 giving maximum seed yield per hectare at both the locations had larger number of pods (especially in upland), longer pods, larger number of seeds per pod and higher seed weight. Medium in duration and with the highest oil content and possessing multiloculed capsules this variety holds promise for being enhanced as an improved strain for general cultivation
