Gujarat) during summer season of the year 2016 to study the effect of irrigation, vermicompost and sulphur on sesamum (Sesamum indicum L.). There were four irrigation schedules (IW: CPE ratios 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 and irrigation at critical growth stages flowering, branching, capsule formation and seed filling stages), two vermicompost levels (0 and 2 t ha -1 ) and two sulphur levels (0 and 20 kg ha -1 ). Higher value of growth characters, yield attributes, seed and straw yield were recorded under treatment I 3 (0.8 IW: CPE ratio) which was at par with I 2 (0.6 IW: CPE ratio). Application of 2 t vermicompost ha -1 and 20 kg sulphur ha -1 significantly increase growth characters, yield attributes, seed and straw yield. The interaction of 0.8 IW: CPE ratio in combination with 2 t vermicompost ha -1 resulted in better seed yield.
A field experiment entitled on sesame varieties under different dates of sowing was conducted during 2013-2014 at Agronomy farm, college of Agriculture, Nagpur. The component was laid out in split plot design with five sowing dates 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 MW and two varieties replicated three times. Growth contributing characters viz., plant height, number of branches plant -1 and dry matter accumulation plant -1 , were significantly higher in variety AKT-64 and found maximum during 2 nd sowing date i.e. 27 th MW during all growth stages. Yield contributing characters such as total number of capsules plant -1 , seed yield plant -1 , straw yield plant -1 , seed yield q ha -1 , straw yield q ha -1 and biological yield q ha -1 , were significantly higher when sown in 27 th MW, variety AKT-64 recorded significantly higher values for these parameters as compared to variety Western-11. Sowing beyond 28 th MW significantly reduced yield of sesame.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
