Effect of Combined Application of Nitrogen and Boron on Yield Contributing Characters and Yield of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

Abstract

Sesame is an important oilseed crop due to its different types of commercial application. The produced oil from sesame uses for food and beauty care product preparation due to its high nutritive value. However, the yield of sesame is comparatively low than other oilseed crops. Nitrogen and Boron are essential nutrients for plant development and growth. So, the combined application of nitrogen and boron can increase the yield of sesame. From these perspectives, an experiment was carried out to study the effect of nitrogen and boron application on yield contributing characters and yield of sesame. The experiment consisted of four Nitrogen doses (N0: 0 kg N/ha (control), N1: 50 kg N/ha, N2: 60 kg N/ha, N3: 70 kg N/ha) and three Boron doses (B0: 0 kg B/ha (control), B1: 2 kg B/ha, B2: 3 kg B/ha). It was laid out in two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Result demonstrated that combination of 60 kg N/ha and 3.0 kg B/ha were acceptable for getting better yield and maximum economic return from the studied parameters.

Biological Indices Influenced by Sesame Based Intercropping System with Different Levels of Nitrogen

“…This increase in growth and yield attributes ultimately helped in realization of higher seed yield. The results obtained in this study are in agreement with those reported by Sarala and Jagannatham [10] Chakraborty [11] Patel et al [12] Hasan [13] Gebremariam [14] Kithan et al [15] Shamsuzzoha et al [16] Adisu et al [17] and Jose et al [18].…”

Effect of Boron on Some Industrial Crops: A Review

“…Modhavadiya et al, (2018) have concluded in their study which tackled the effect of four levels of boron (0, 1, 2, 3 kg B/ha) add to soil, that the fourth level is the highest in seed crop. Shamsuzzoha et al, (2019) have indicated, when they used three levels of boron (0, 2, 3 kg B/ha) add to soil, that there is an abstract effect in seed crop by the increase of boron levels. Padasalagi et al, (2019) have got an abstract increase in sesame crop by increasing boron level from (2.5 -5 kg B/ha).…”

Assessment of Agroeconomic Indicators of Sesamum indicum L. as Influenced by Application of Boron at Different Levels and Plant Growth Stages

“…In another report, the highest values of seed and stover yield were recorded using a treatment of 0.15% foliar spray of B in sesame due to fertility improvement and the translocation of photosynthates [15]. Studies in the literature have demonstrated that the seed yield of sesamum can be increased with an increase in B levels [16,17]. For instance, a significant increase of 10.7% in seed yield of sesame has been recorded with 0.15% B application over the control under red laterite soils [18].…”
