Effect of Fertilizer Rate on the Yield And Yield Component of Sesame(Sesamumindicum) in Moisture Stress of Eastern Harerghe Zone

Abstract

Field trials on sesame were conducted at the Fadis Agricultural Research Station during the 2014 and 2015 cropping seasons to determine the optimal rate of Nitrogen(UREA) fertilizer and Phosphorus(DAP) for sesame production. The experiment consisted of four rates of Nitrogen in the form of UREA (0, 40, 60, &80kg ha -1 ), and four levels of Phosphorus in the form of DAP (0, 10,20&30kg ha -1 ) applied to the treatments. The sixteen treatment combinations were laid out in a RCBD design with three replications. Yield of Sesame and yield related components were showing significant difference (p<0.05). Analysis of variances showed that grain yield, number of capsule per plant, number of seeds per capsule and number of branching per plant was significant differences at (P<0.05) both at Fadis and Erer of study areas. Grain yield increases from 518.1kg/ha to 891kg/ha as N increases from 0(control) to 24.6kgN (60kgDAP @ 30kgUREA).

Effect of Different Levels of Sulphur and Nitrogen on Growth Yield and Quality of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under Bael (Aegle marmelos L.) based Agri-horti system

“…The high yield might be attributed to effect of sulphur that stimulates the synthesis of protein that results into the enhanced yield contributing components (Mondal et al, 2012). The similar results have also been reported in sesame by Umata and Dabalo (2017) and Jadhav et al(2010). Ahmad et al (2018) reported that maximum sesame yield produced by applying 40 kg sulphur ha -1 .…”

Performance of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Under Different Supplementary Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilizer Levels in Humera, Northern Ethiopia

“…Among the several the several factors affecting sesame productivity, fertilizer application has been causing a considerable impact on the growth and productivity of the crop. Field experiments have shown that sesame growth and productivity has improved with proper application of nitrogen fertilizer [7,8] in Ethiopia.…”
