Evaluation of yield and morpho-phenological traits of sesame cultivars under drought stress
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
In order to evaluate the yield and morpho-phenological traits of sesame cultivars and lines under drought conditions, 16 genotypes were evaluated in two separate experiments, under drought stress of season's end and non-stress conditions in a randomized complete block design with three replications in crop year 2008-2009. The results showed that the cultivars and lines were different in both conditions for yield and morpho-phenological traits. Under drought stress of season's end conditions, the yield of sesame genotypes declined from 853 to 564 kg/ha. The lines of “TS-3” and “Darab 14” in nonstress conditions, had the highest grain yield but in stress conditions cultivars of “Darab14” and “Sistan local”, had the highest grain yield. Although phenological traits of cultivars and lines were not statistically significant in drought stress of season's end, but the change process was decreasingly.
