Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted at Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to assess the “Effect of salinity on yield, yield attributing characters and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Varieties†during the summer, 2017.The pot experiment comprised of four levels of salinity viz., <2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dS m-1and tested five different varieties viz., G Til 2, G Til 3, G Til 4, G J Til 5 and G Til 10 in FRCD. The results revealed that the yield, yield attributes and quality parameters were significantly influenced by the different tested varieties of sesame. The highest seed yield (4.05 g plant-1) and stalk yield (6.20 g plant-1) were observed with variety V5 (G Til 10). The variety V5 (G Til 10) also exhibited its superiority in achieving highest plant height (92.50 cm), branches per plant (4.23), capsule per plant (46.03), length of capsule (2.20 cm), wt. of dry capsules per plant (8.56 g) and quality parameters viz., 1000 seeds weight and oil content in comparison to other tested varieties. Significant interaction of variety & saline water was obtained in respect of seed yield, stalk yield, plant height, dry capsule weight and seeds per capsule. Among the tested sesame varieties, variety G. Til 10 found tolerant upto EC 4.0 dSm-1 of irrigation water in summer sesame.
