Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), one of the oldest oil seed crops of the world is mostly grown by small and marginal farmers of arid and semi-arid regions of India. The productivity of sesame in major sesame growing states ranges from74 kg ha-1 in Rajasthan to 291 kg ha-1 Gujarat, and is far below from national average (368 kg ha-1). Low yield in farmer’s fields often results because of low level of inputs and frequent soil moisture deficit. Under these circumstances, problems of low yield in resource poor farmer’s field remain a major challenge. The present study aimed at identifying the high yielding sesame cultivars and the potential breeding resources for low input agriculture in arid ecosystems. Seventeen released cultivars collected from different agro climatic zones of India were evaluated under low input conditions (no fertilization, irrigation and pest management ) using RBD with three replications at CAZRI, Regional Research Station, Bhuj, Gujarat during kharif 2010-11. The result of the analysis of variance for plant height (cm), days to 50 % flowering and maturity, number of seeds/capsule, first capsule height (cm), capsule length and width (mm), number of capsules/plant, seed weight/capsule (mg), dry capsule weight (mg), biomass yield (kg ha-1) and seed yield (kg ha-1) indicated that genotypic differences for these traits were highly significant (P Not Available |
