“…Significantly the lowest grain yield (446 kg ha -1 ) was recorded in control plot. The result is supported with the findings of Shehu et al [8] and Haruna [9] who reported that increasing phosphorus levels of application significantly increase grain yield. The interactive effect of Phosphorus and Nitrogen on grains yield was found non-significant.…”

“…However, higher yields were obtained from the application of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and adequate supply of nitrogen is beneficial for both carbohydrates and protein metabolism as it promote cell division and cell enlargement, resulting in, more leaf area and thus ensuring good seed and dry matter yield [7]. Survey reports have also shown that fertilizers are not applied to sesame even in major sesame growing areas of Nigeria [8]. Keeping in view the above constraints this experiment were conducted to find out the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus levels on the yield and yield components of sesame in agro-climatic condition of Peshawar.…”

Nitrogen is a structural component of chlorophyll and protein therefore adequate supply of nitrogen is beneficial for both carbohydrates and protein metabolism as it promotes cell division and cell enlargement, resulting in more leaf area and thus ensuring good seed and dry matter yield. The experiment entitled effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on yield and yield components of sesame were conducted at New Developmental Farm of the University of Agriculture Peshawar during kharif ( June 2013). Randomized complete block design (RCBD) having four replications were used. Nitrogen and phosphorus levels (0, 30, 60, 90 kg ha -1 ) each were applied in the form of P2O5 from DAP and urea respectively. The whole of phosphorus was applied during seed bed preparation and nitrogen in two splits, half at sowing and half after 80% emergence. The seed rate 4 kg ha -1 of sesame (ocal black) was planted on 28 th June 2013. Total of 3 irrigations were applied, and other cultural practices were kept uniform for all the treatments. Highest number of pods plant -1 (67), number of seeds pods -1 (54), grain yield (520 kg), biological yield (2539 kg), thousand seeds weight (3.91 g) and harvest index (24%) were recorded when higher dose of N i.e. 90 kg ha -1 were used. Similarly enhanced lowest number of pods plant -1 (55), number of seeds pods -1 (50), grain yield (442 kg), biological yield (1570 kg), thousand seed weight (2.94 g), and harvest index (20%) were recorded in control plots. Application of phosphorous has significantly affected seeds pod -1 , and biological yield. Whereas 90 kg P ha -1 increased plant tallness, pods plant -1 , grains yield, thousand seeds weight and harvest index (%). The interaction was non-significant for all studied parameters. Therefore, it was concluded from the results that using nitrogen @ of 90 kg ha -1 with 90 kg P ha -1 have improved the yield and yield components of sesame. Thus the application of 90 kg N ha -1 with 90 kg P ha -1 is recommended for general cultivation in agro-climatic condition of Peshawar valley.

“…In case of Interaction N×S ( Table 4) more number of seeds pod -1 (220.7) were recorded at 70 kg N and 30 kg S ha -1 , while less number of seeds pod -1 (109.3) were recorded at 70 kg N and 10 kg S ha -1 . The number of pods were significantly influenced by application of N fertilizer [8]. N fertilizer application at 75 and 112.5 kg N ha -1 did not differ significantly from each other but differ with 37.5 and 0 kg N ha -1 rates with higher values.…”

Effect of nitrogen and sulfur on yield and yield components of sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.) in calcareous soil.Pure and Applied Biology. Vol. 5, Issue 3, pp471-475. http://dx. AbstractThe study was carried out on sesame in North West of Pakistan. The experiment was laid out in RCBD having 3 replications. Four N and three S rates were applied in two splits one at sowing and second split with first irrigation. No of pods plant -1 and grain yield (kg ha -1 ) were affected significantly by N, S and control vs rest. No of grains pod -1 and 1000-seeds weight were affected significantly affected by nitrogen not sulfur. Mean values for nitrogen exhibited that highest grain yield (799.4) were obtained at 70 kg N ha -1 ,while minimum grain yield (637) were recorded at 0 kg N ha -1 . Mean values for sulfur revealed that highest grain yield (807.1) were recorded at 30 kg S ha -1 , while minimum grain yield (628.6) were recorded at 10 kg S ha -1 . Nitrogen and sulfur interaction showed that optimum grain yield (1030 kg ha -1 ) was noted at 70:30 kg N:S ha -1 , while minimum grain yield (516.10 kg ha -1 ) was noted at 150:10 kg N:S ha -1 . It is concluded that nitrogen and sulfur applied at the rate of 70:30 kg N:S ha -1 perform better as compared to other treatment applied and thus recommended for attaining high yield.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is grown mainly in the tropics. It is typically grown by smallholders with nearly all of its production in developing countries. It is an important source of high-quality oil and protein. Inappropriate use of fertilizers and monocropping are among the major production constraints. The objective of this paper is therefore to review the effect of N fertilizers on sesame growth and productivity. Growth and yield of sesame are greatly influenced by the application of N fertilizer. In most of the sesame-producing countries, optimum seed yield of sesame was obtained from application of 46–100 kg·N/ha. Adequate nitrogen fertilization also improves uptakes of other nutrients, particularly P and K and some micronutrients. Preemergence application of mobile nitrogen (urea) is less efficient due to losses. Mobile form of N fertilizer became available within two days for the crop. Split N applications where the N fertilizer is applied at different growth stages of the crop increases productivity. Side-dress application is one of the easiest ways to maximize nitrogen use efficiency. N fertilizers should be placed 3–5 cm deeper than the seeds and 5–10 cm apart from the plant for side dress but not far than 20 cm. Under optimal environmental conditions, nitrogen fertilizer has no effect on phonological traits but on the growth parameters. In the potential areas, application of 46–100 kg·N/ha gives maximum yield and lowering the application of N to less than 46 kg·N/ha in marginal areas is economical.
