A study was conducted in sesame to assess the extent of heterosis for eleven traits including seed yield per plant. Heterosis was worked-out over better parent and standard variety, G.Til-2. The standard heterosis for seed yield per plant ranged from -25.23 to 43.75 %. The crosses GT 10 × GT 4, AT 308 × SKT 12-2, AT 314 × GT 4 and GT 10 × AT 319 were good heterotic combinations for seed yield per plant, which recorded 43.74, 40.44, 39.61 and 36.74 % standard heterosis, respectively.
