“…Increase in seed weight plant -1 by Heraty terraces planting method may be due to more availability of nutrients in the soil and efficient utilization of these nutrients by the crop throughout growing season which improves crop growth and photosynthetic activities and resulted more grain weight plnt -1 . These results are confirmed with those reported by Weiss (2000) and Katanga et al (2017). ISSN: 1110-0486 Website:www.aun.edu.eg/faculty_agriculture/journals_issues_form.php E-mail: ajas@aun.edu.eg As for as, sesame cultivar effect in this respect, data in Table 3 prove that the tested sesame cultivars had a significant effect on seed weight plant -1 in the two growing seasons.…”

and 2019 seasons to evaluation of some sesame cultivars under different methods of planting. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) using strip-plot arrangement with three replications. The six planting methods (Afir terraces, Afir drill on flat, Afir furrows, Heraty terraces, Heraty drill on flat and Heraty furrows) were assigned horizontally while, the three sesame cultivars (Giza-32, Shandaweel-3 and Sohag-1) were allocated vertically. The obtained result showed that the studied planting methods had a significant effect on number of capsules plant-1 , 1000-seed weight and seeds weight plant-1 as well as seeds and oil yields traits in the both seasons except 1000-seed weight in the second season in favor of terraces planting methods. Furthermore, the tested sesame cultivars had a highly significant influence on all the studied traits in the two growing season in favor of Shandaweel-3 cultivar which gained the highest mean values of all the mentioned traits except seed yield /plant in the second season. Here too, the interaction between the studied planting methods and sesame cultivars had a significant effect in all the previous traits in the both seasons. Thus, the maximum average values of oil yield (444.14 and 374.37 kg fed.-1 in the two respective seasons) were obtained from sowing Shandaweel-3 cultivar using Afir drill on flat planting method in the first season and from sowing Sohage-1 cultivar using Heraty furrows method in the second one.

“…The results indicated that the raised bed planting method enhanced 50 % of flowering date 5.49 % in the first season and 4.43 % in the second season compared to the ridge method in both seasons, respectively. Similar results were obtained by Katanga et al (2017). This may be due abundance of light, air and suitable conditions that accelerate the plant's physiological growth rate, so the plant appeared an early flowering.…”

Two field experiments were Carried out at in El-Mattana Agricultural Research Station, Luxor, Governorate during the (2020 and 2021) to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals (7, 15 and 21 days ) and two planting methods (Ridge and Raised Bed planting) on the yield of two Cultivars sunflower under Upper Egypt condition, namely: (Sakha 53 and Giza 120 Cultivar ) The design of experiment was Split-Split Blocks Design (Stripes) under (RCBD) included four Replications and three factors the first factor (irrigation intervals ) which were placed in whole plots while the second factor (planting methods ) were placed in subplots and the third factor (varieties ) were placed in sub-sub plot. The results indicated that effect of irrigation intervals was significant for all studied traits in both seasons. the maximum values of plant height (cm), seed weight head (g), and seed yield (kg/fed -1 ) were obtained from irrigation every 7 days and irrigation every 15 days gave the highest mean value of oil yield (kg/fed). While irrigation every 21days produced the highest mean values of oil percentage % and 50 % flowering (%). In terms of planting method, the results revealed planting ridge Give the highest mean of 100 seed weight, oil yield, oil percentage, seed yield, and seed weight /head in both seasons, whereas planting raised bed method produced the highest values for plant height, 50 % flowering, and seed yield, respectively. While the cultivars Giza 120 superior on the Sakha 53 Cultivar in all studied traits except 100 seed weight, 50 % flowering and oil percentage.

Sesame is an oil seed crop with great economic value. However, the production of this crop has been limited by weed competition, which prompted a field experiment during the 2021 cropping season in two locations: Teaching and Research Farm, Kwara State University, Malete, and National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), Idofian, Ilorin, Kwara, Nigeria. The aim was to determine the treatment combinations of sowing methods and herbicide mixtures for the effective management of weeds and for increasing sesame productivity in the southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria. The experiment consisted of twenty treatments comprising two sowing methods (dibbling and drilling) and ten weed control methods. Results showed that all the weed control methods reduced weed dry matter (67.15–186.20 and 42.00–92.45 g/m2) than the weedy check (291.55 and 155.55 g/m2) at Malete and NCAM, respectively. They also reduced the weed density (48.40–68.45 and 34.00–50.00/m2) compared to the weedy check (103.60 and 73.15 g/m2) at Malete and NCAM, respectively, from 6 to 12 weeks after planting (WAP). Dibbling (85.15 and 48.81 m2) proved superior to the drilling method (172.42 and 51.58/m2) for the management of weeds from 6–12 WAP and for promoting higher crop yield (dibbling: 78.90 and 422.70 kg/ha; drilling: 37.50 and 326.80 kg/ha) in Malete and NCAM, respectively. The treatment combinations with the highest gross margin were hoeing twice at 3 and 6 WAP × dibbling ($ -191.15 and $ 318.57), pendimethalin (P) + diuron (D) at 0.5 + 0.5 kg a.i./ha ($ -199.88 and $ 182.43), 2.0 + 1.5 × dibbling ($ -273.59 and $ 156.65) and butachlor (B) + diuron (D) at 1.5 + 1.0 kg a.i./ha × drilling ($ -269.59 and $ 177.38) at Malete and NCAM, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that the dibbling sowing method at a spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm and thinned to 3 plants/stand integrated with herbicide mixtures of pendimethalin at 0.5 + 0.5 kg a.i./ha is recommended as an alternative to hoe weeding for effective weed control, higher yield of sesame, and economic returns.
