Abstract:

TS-5 is a high yield, bold and white seeded variety of sesame having branched stem. It was released for general cultivation in the year 2011. TS-5 (line-90005) was developed through selection at Oilseed Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Homozygous progenies were bulked in 1996-97 for yield evaluation. Its performance was evaluated in station, advanced, zonal and national uniform sesame yield trials. TS-5 proved its worth in all these trials and performed better than existing varieties. Its maximum yield potential (2346 kg/ha) was achieved in 2004 in zonal varietal trial at Faisalabad. This variety gave an average yield of 855 and 842 kg per hectare compared with check TS-3 (609 and 719 kg/ha) in national uniform sesame yield trials during 2006 to 2007, respectively. TS-5 proved as resistant to both charcoal rot and phyllody diseases. It also showed tolerance to whitefly and jassid. The variety is lodging resistant having oil content of more than 50 percent. It gives higher yield (1343 kg/ha) if planted from 15th to 30th June with application of 60 kg DAP at sowing and 30 kg of urea at flowering time with 1st and 2nd irrigation.
