Field experiments were conducted on deep black soil of Mamurabad farm, Oilseed Research Station, Jalgaon (Maharashtra). Sesame cv. JLT-7 was sown during 2008,2009 and 2010 to find out suitable combination of soil and foliar application of urea and diammonium phosphate for seed yield maximization and remunerative treatments. Result revealed that, soil application of RDF + foliar spray of 2 per cent urea twice at flowering and pod formation stages significantly improved the yield attributes viz., number of capsules plant-1 and number of seeds capsule-1. These attributes contributed in producing significantly higher seed and oil yields and also proved more remunerative over soil application of RDF alone.
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010-2015 for five years at Oilseeds Research Station, Jalgaon, to find out the suitable planting pattern and land configuration in groundnut + sesame intercropping system. The experiment was conducted on clay textured soil low in available nitrogen (196 kg ha -1 ), medium in phosphorus (17.6 kg ha -1 ) and high in potash (604 kg ha -1 ) with slightly alkaline in reaction having pH 8.20. The experiment conducted in randomized block design having fourteen treatment combinations replicated thrice. The treatment consists of sole groundnut and sesame at recommended spacing, sole crops with skip row in 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 row proportions, intercropping of groundnut + sesame in 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 row proportions and intercropping of groundnut + sesame in 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 row proportions with skip row after each intercrop combination. The openings of furrow in every skip row were done after 30 days after sowing. Among different intercropping of groundnut + sesame in 4:1 row proportions gave significantly higher groundnut equivalent yield (1986 kg ha -1 ), land equivalent ratio (1.30), net returns (Rs.54768 ha -1 ) and B: C ratio 2.54 followed by groundnut + sesame in 3:1 row proportion recorded groundnut equivalent yield (1950 kg ha -1 ), land equivalent ratio (1.28), net returns (Rs.53560 ha -1 ) and B: C ratio 2.52. Also the moisture conservation technique of furrow opening shows significant results in intercropping combinations as well as in sole cropping of groundnut and Sesame.
The experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Jalgaon, Maharashtra during Kharif season of 2018 to 2020 to study the effect of pre and post emergence herbicide on growth and yield of sesame. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD), replicated thrice with eight treatments viz., T1 Weedy check, T2 Weed free, T3 Pendimethalin 30EC (pre–emergence)@0.50kg a.i./ha., T4 Quizlofop-ethyl 5 % EC (post emergence) 50g a.i/ha.at 20 DAS., T5 Sodium Acifluorfen16.5% + Clodinafop-propargyl 8% (premix) @ 100 g.a.i./ha.at 20 DAS., T6 Pendimethalin 30EC (pre–emergence)@ 0. 50 kg a.i./ha.+ Hand weeding at 20DAS., T7 Pendimethalin 30EC (pre–emergence)@0. 50 kg a.i./ha.+ Quizlofop-ethyl 5 % EC (post emergence) 50g a.i/ha.at 20 DAS., T8 Pendimethalin 30EC (pre–emergence) @ 0. 50 kg a.i./ha.+ Sodium Acifluorfen16.5% +Clodinafop-propargyl 8% (premix) @ 100 g.a.i./ha. at 20 DAS.From the pooled results,it is concluded that pre and post emergance herbicide for chemical weed management in sesame, the seed yield were found to be significant.The practice of the treatment T2 (weed free) crop produced the significantly highest seed yield 607 Kg./ha, Net Monetory Returns Rs. 42730/- and B:C Ratio 2.93, over rest of treatment, followed by 523 kg/ha seed yield, Rs. 35873/- Net Monetory Returns and 2.77 B:C ratio by the treatment i.e. pre–emergence application of Pendamethalin 30 EC @ 0. 50 kg a.i./ha + Hand weeding at 20 DAS was an efficient and economically feasible package to manage the weeds and realize better returns.
A field experiment were conducted during kharif season of 2016 to 2018 to study the response of soil and foliar application of zinc and iron for increasing the growth and yield of sesame at Oilseeds Research Station, MPKV, Jalgaon (MS). The soil of experimental field was vertisoles low in nitrogen (221 kg ha -1 ) medium in phosphorus (21.60 kg ha -1 ), rich in potassium (675 kg ha -1 ), low in zinc (0.5 ppm) and iron (4.3 ppm) with alkaline in reaction (pH 8.20). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eleven treatments and three replications viz. T1 -Control (RDF + FYM), T2-T1 + Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha -1 , T3 -T1 + Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5 % at 30 & 45 DAS, T4 -T1 + T2 + T3, T5 -T1 + Soil application of FeSO4 @ 25 kg ha -1 , T6-T1
