Obsa and Dicho are the names assigned after release for sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) varieties with accession number Acc. EW004 and Acc. EW015, respectively. Both varieties were by far greater than the standard check, Abasena, in terms of grain yield (by 142.06 and 135.98%, respectively), disease resistance, tolerant to shattering and non-lodging. The average oil contents and average oil yields for Obsa and Dicho were 51.45 and 53.8%, and 498.4 and 503.9 kg ha-1, respectively.
