New sesame hybrids show 70% yield increase, revolutionizing farming industry.
The researchers evaluated different combinations of sesame plants to see which ones produced the best results in terms of yield and other traits. They found that certain hybrid combinations showed a significant increase in yield compared to standard varieties. The hybrids RT 54 x ABT 33, AT 158 x ABT 33, AT 158 x AT192, AT 192 x G.Til 1, and AT 158 x AT 177 were the most successful, showing a high level of hybrid vigor. These hybrids also performed well in terms of early maturity, capsule length, seeds per capsule, and biological yield, making them promising candidates for commercial cultivation.
