Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Result showed that among the mutant lines/variety, Binatil-2 produced highest seed yield (1660 kg ha^-1) and contributed by higher number of population. The mutant line SM- 104 produced the second highest seed yield (1606 kg ha^-1). Different row spacing did not differ significantly in respect of yield. Interaction of date, variety and spacing showed highest seed yield (1853 kg ha^-1) in March 10 sowing by mutant line SM-067 in 20 cm row spacing. In the same date of sowing, Binatil-2 produced the highest seed yield (1700 kg ha^-1) in 20-30 cm row spacing and SM-104 produced higher seed yield (1700 kg ha^-1) in 20 cm and 25 cm row spacing.

Keywords: Spacing, Yield and Sesame

Location: BINA sub-station farm at Ishurdi

Start Date: 25-02-2013

End Date: 30-06-2013

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 on the yield and yield contributing characters of different sesame mutant’s. Four mutant lines/varieties viz., SM-067, SM-058, SM-104 and Binatil-2 were grown under 3 sowing time Feb. 25, March 10 and March 25. The experiments were conducted in a split- plot design with 3 replications. The sowing times was placed in the main plots and varieties in the sub plots. 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.

Achievement/Findings:

In spacing trial of sesame mutants showed that, among the mutant lines/variety Binatil-2 produced the highest seed yield (1660 kg ha^-1) and contributed by higher number of population. The mutant line SM- 104 produced the second highest seed yield (1606 kg ha^-1). Different row spacing did not differ significantly in respect of yield.
