Introduction and Screening of Ganzhi Series Sesame Varieties
In order to select sesame varieties suitable for large-scale promotion in Hunan ecological regions,introduction experiments of 12 sesame varieties of Ganzhi series were carried out in Changsha and Huaihua,Hunan Province.The results showed that the yield per plant of Ganzhi series sesame varieties showed significant regional differences,and the yield potential of Ganzhi series sesame varieties in Changsha was higher.The yield per unit of black sesame varieties in Changsha was significantly higher than that in Huaihua,and the number of capsules per plant and the yield per plant of white sesame varieties showed significant regional differences.The yield of Ganzhi 19 was the highest in black sesame varieties,and the yield of Ganzhi 12 was the highest in white sesame varieties.Ganzhi 9,Ganzhi 10,Ganzhi 14,Ganzhi 18,Ganzhi 11,Ganzhi 19,Ganzhi 20 showed high yield,lodging resistance,disease resistance,and slight capsule cracking at the maturity stage,and could be used for production tests in various ecological regions of Hunan Province.Although the yield of Ganzhi 12,Ganzhi 15 and Ganzhi 17 increased by more than 20%compared with the control,the plants were lodging.Hence,further multi-point plot tests should be carried out.
