Induced resistance is an important component of disease-resistance response of plants, and is accompanied by increased capability for activating defense responses upon pathogen ingress or elicitor treatment. Aqueous leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica Juss.) provided the control of Alternaria leaf spot pathogen (Alternaria sesami) of sesame (Sesamum indicum L: Syn. S. orientale L). Treatme...

The present study was undertaken to develop superior hybrids for yield and its component traits in Sesamum indicum L. through interspecific hybridization by utilizing S. malabaricum as one of the parents. Direct reciprocal crosses were attempted using eight cultivated varieties malabaricum, which evaluated a total fifteen hybrids. Highly significant positive heterosis observed few vegetative tr...

The current study's objective is to characterize eight sesame genotypes (Sesamum indicum L.) using the DUS descriptors. At Adhiparasakthi Agri College, Research Farm, Kalavai, experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications April 2023. Sesame varieties were assessed for 13 morphological features Most of analyzed traits showed a significant amount variation...
