A replicated field trial consisting of 10 entries including a local check Thori-78 was conducted during rabi 1992-93 at National agricultural research Centre, Islamabad. Significant differences were observed at 5% probability level in seed yield, oil content, number of achene/plant, hundred seed weight and plant height among the genotypes. The variety PI-307060 produced the highest seed yield of 833 kg/ha, followed by PI-262424 with a yield of 813 kg/ha. CB-32 produced the highest oil content of 35.40%, PI- 262424 produced the maximum (39) number of achene/plant, dholka Sindh produced the maximum (5.4 g) hundred seed weight per plant, while Thori- 78/28 was the short stature with a plant height of 114 cm. The check (Thori- 78) having 313 kg/ha seed yield, 30.51% oil content, 32 achenes per plant, 5.3g hundred seed weight and 121 cm plant height.
