Abstract: Luozhi 106 was a new monopodial white sesame(Sesamum indicum L.) variety developed through hybrid breeding by the Luohe Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This variety had plump grains, fast grain filling speed, high thousand seed weight, strong disease and stress resistance, high yield and stable yield. In 2018, during the sesame strain comparison trial conducted by the Luohe Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Luozhi 106 achieved an average yield of 1 365.10 kg/hm2, representing an 18.70% increase compared to the control variety Yuzhi No.4, and ranked second among the tested strains. In 2019, in the same trial, Luozhi 106 had an average yield of 1 922.93 kg/hm2, an increase of 7.70% compared with Yuzhi No.4, and ranked first among the tested strains. In 2020, during the regional trial for new sesame strains in the Huang-Huai region, Luozhi 106 produced an average yield of 1 163.78 kg/hm2, a 7.97% increase over Yuzhi No.4, and ranked first among the tested strains. In 2021, in the same regional trial, Luozhi 106 had an average yield of 1 189.92 kg/hm2, an increase of 10.37% compared with Yuzhi No.4, and ranked fifth among the tested strains. In 2023, in the demonstration trial for new sesame varieties in the Huang-Huai production area, Luozhi 106 achieved an average yield of 1 870.80 kg/hm2, a 25.21% increase over Yuzhi No.4, and ranked first among the tested varieties. In December 2023, it was identified by the identification and registration committee organized by Henan Seed Industry Development Center.
