Overview

The present investigation, entitled ""Assessment of genetic variability for yield and yield components in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)"", was conducted at the Oilseeds Research Station, College of Agriculture, Latur, during the Rabi season of 2024-2025. The experimental material comprised thirty genotypes, including two standard checks, procured from the Oilseeds Research Station, Latur. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two replications to ensure precision and reliability of results. Observations were meticulously recorded on ten quantitative traits, viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, 1000-seed weight (g), capsule length (cm), oil content (%) and seed yield per plant (g). The analysis of variance revealed the presence of substantial genetic variability for all the characters studied, indicating significant differences among and between the treatments.
