Seventy genotypes of sesame were studied by correlation and path coefficient analysis for single plant yield and other yield contributing components. The association between seed yield and its contributing characters indicated that the seed yield per plant had positive and significant association with number of capsules per plant, number of primary branches per plant also thousand seed weight, harvest index and number of primary branches per plant. Based on path analysis, the number of capsules per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of primary branches per plant, number of seed per capsules and harvest index showed significant positive direct effect with seed yield per plant. Therefore, the number of capsules per plant and number of primary branches per plant should be given importance in selection programmes to get high seed yield in sesame.
