Abstract

Association of characters influencing seed yield in sixteen progenies of Sesame was examined in a trait through the study of correlation and regression analyses. Experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications during summer 1990. Data demonstrated that days to flowering displayed highly significant correlation (r = 0. 850**) with days to maturity but non-significant negative association with plant height and seed yield. Days to maturity was negatively correlated (r = 0. 317") with seed yield. Plant height showed highly significant positive correlation (r = 0. 453**) with seed yield. Partial regression analysis also confirmed that plant height and days to flowering contributed significantly towards seed yield.
