Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Among different dates of sowing, Feb.23 produced highest seed yield (1501.22 kg ha^-1). It is evident from Table (8) that between the varieties, Binatil-3 produced highest seed yield (1469.82 kg ha^-1) and contributed by higher number of population. Binatil-2 produced the second highest seed yield (1441.59 kg ha^-1). Different row spacing differs significantly in respect of yield. Interaction of date × variety × spacing showed highest seed yield (1579 kg ha^-1) in Feb. 23 sowing by Binatil-3 in 25 cm row spacing. In March 10 sowing, Binatil-2 produced second highest seed yield (1560 kg ha^-1) in 30 cm row spacing.

Keywords: Sowing time, Spacing and Sesame

Location: BINA sub-station farm at Ishurdi

Start Date: 23-02-2014

End Date: 30-06-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sesame

Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of sowing time and spacing on the yield and yield contributing characters of sesame varieties.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at BINA Substation Ishurdi to evaluate the effect of sowing time and spacing on the yield and yield contributing characters of sesame varieties. Two release varieties Binatil-3 and Binatil-2 were grown under 3 sowing time Feb. 23, March 10 and March 25. The experiment was conducted in a split-split- plot design with 3 replications. The sowing time was placed in the main plots, varieties in the sub plots and spacing’s in sub- sub plot. The recommended doses of fertilizers were applied. The data on yield attributes were recorded from randomly selected 10 plants while yield data were recorded from whole plots. All the data were analyzed statistically using MSTAT program of computer and the mean values were judged by LSD. The results are discussed below

Achievement/Findings:

In sesame trials with sowing time and spacing showed that among different sowing dates, February 23 sowing produced highest seed yield (1579 kg ha^-1) by Binatil-3 with 25 cm row spacing and in March 10 sowing, Binatil-2 produced second highest seed yield (1560 kg ha^-1) with 30 cm row spacing.
