This study was carried out at the National Centre for Genetic Research and Biotechnology (NACGRAB), Moor Plantation, Apata, Ibadan in 2014. The aim was to investigate the efficiency of standard germination and vigour tests in predicting field emergence of five accessions of Sesamum indicum: PBG009020, PBG009030, PBG009061, PBG009063 and PBG009064 respectively. The experiment consisted of both laboratory and field emergence tests. The laboratory test was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) while field experiment was randomized complete block design (RCBD). Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and means separated with the Least Significant Difference at 5% probability level. Correlation analysis was carried out between laboratory test and field emergence. The Sesamum indicum accessions were tested and ranked in order of seed quality for predicting emergence of seeds of sesame accessions, while accelerated aging was used in determining field emergence of the seeds. The result indicated that NGB00963 had the highest response to field emergence test and accelerated aging test, while NGB00920 and NGB00961 responded better to standard germination, emergence index and accelerated aging. Similarly, NGB00930 had the lowest electric conductivity while NGB00964 had the lowest response to the entire tests carried out.
