| Abstract |
The stepwise analysis provide useful information to plant breeders for developing selection schemes. The refer this work aimed to determine the economic weight of each of five characters, viz., number of capsules/plant, seed index, number of branches /plant, height of first capsule and seed yield / plant in ten lines derived from ten crosses that were selected and ranked as Superior F5 and F 6 families of sesame. Selection index increased yield 16.1%.On the other hand , selecting for increased yield via selection for number of capsules /plant , seed index , number of branches /plant and/or height of first capsule would be effective .The top four sub-families (N o . 4 , 5 , 6 , and 8 ) according to selection in F5 showed superiority in F6. Actual genetic advance from selection on the base of selection index was higher than the expected one in most cases.
