dc.description.abstract	ACV-1 and ACV-2 are the two new sesame varieties released in Kerala recently. These varieties were evolved by pureline selection from germplasm types P38 (a Punjab variety) and No.42 (a West Bengal variety) respectively. ACV-1 (selection No. 38-1) was released as 'Soma' for summer rice fallows. This has multiloculed capsules having white bold seeds with substantial increase in seed yield over the standard variety, Kayamkulam 2. ACV-2 (Selection No.42-1) was released as 'Surya' for the rabi uplands. This variety also has multiloculed capsules having grey bold seeds with significant increase in seed yield over Kayamkulam 2.	en_US
