Abstract
Heterosis was high, significant and positive for yield and its important attributes in 6 out of 17 hybrids of sesame involving 8 diverse parents. Heterosis lor yield was genecally accompanied by heterosis for yield components. The study reveals good scope for commercial exploitation of heterosis as well as isolation of pure lines among the progenies of other heterotic F1.
