Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with sesame during summer season of 2007 and 2008 on clayey soil ofCotton Research Centre, Khapat farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Porbandar, Gujarat to find out thecombined effect of irrigation at critical growth stages and fertility levels on growth, yield attributes, yields andquality of sesame. The treatments consisted 24 possible combinations of four levels of irrigation in main plot andsix levels of fertility in sub-plot. The results revealed that irrigating the crop at branching, flowering, capsule andseed development stages with the application of 75:50:50 kg NP2O5K2O/ha were found significant for number ofeffective branches/plant, length of capsule, number of capsules/plant, number of seed/capsule, seed yield/plant, seedyield and stover yields of sesame, harvest index, 1000-seed weight, protein and oil content in seed, oil yield andnitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake. Whereas water use efficiency was maximum when the crop wasirrigated at flowering and capsule development stages only.
