“…e maximum number of capsules (122) per plant was observed under optimal irrigation water application treatment (UO), and the minimum number of capsules (67 and 71.1) per plant was obtained under deficit 75% during midseason stage (DM) and 50% deficit irrigation application throughout the whole growth season, respectively. ese results are in accordance with the findings of Nadeem et al [33] who reported that number of capsules per plant in sesame plants have been significantly affected by different levels of soil moisture regimes.…”

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is the leading oil seed crop produced in Ethiopia. It is the second most important agricultural commodity for export market in the country. It is well suited as an alternative crop production system, and it has low crop water requirement with moderate resistance to soil moisture deficit. The low land of North Western Ethiopia is the major sesame producer in the country, and the entire production is from rainfed. The rainfall distribution in North Western Ethiopia is significantly varied. This significant rainfall variability hampers the productivity of sesame. Irrigation agriculture has the potential to stabilize crop production and mitigate the negative impacts of variable rainfall. This study was proposed to identify critical growth stages during which sesame is most vulnerable to soil moisture deficit and to evaluate the crop water productivity of sesame under deficit irrigation. The performance of sesame to stage-wise and uniform deficit irrigation scheduling technique was tested at Gondar Agricultural Research Center (Metema Station), Northern Western Ethiopia. Eight treatments, four stage-wise deficit, two uniform deficit, one above optimal, and one optimal irrigation applications, were evaluated during the 2017 irrigation season. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plant phenological variables, grain yield and crop water productivity, were used for performance evaluation. The result showed that deficit irrigation can be applied both throughout and at selected growth stages except the midseason stage. Imposing deficit during the midseason gave the lowest yield indicating the severe effect of water deficit during flowering and capsule initiation stages. When deficit irrigation is induced throughout, a 25% uniform deficit irrigation can give the highest crop water productivity with no or little yield reduction as compared with optimal irrigation. Implementing deficit irrigation scheduling technique will be beneficial for sesame production. Imposing 75% deficit at the initial, development, late season growth stages or 25% deficit irrigation throughout whole seasons will improve sesame crop water productivity.

“…He also indicated that the production of higher number of primary branches per plant -1 at a lower seed rate was probably due to numerous factors such as availability of more space and water available to the plants. Other similar evidences were also reported by Noorka et al (2011), El Naim et al (2012 and Nadeem et al (2015).…”

“…According to the authors, this result might be due to the higher competition effect among plants for light in dense plant population, which may results elongation of internodes and in turn gave taller plants. Nadeem et al (2015) obtained similar results indicating that when the number of plants m -2 increases, the competition for light also increases and plant grows taller to intercept maximum light.…”

On-farm study was conducted in the lowland areas of Kewot district in the North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia on two sites during 2011 crop season to determine optimum seed rate of sesame. Four seed rates (2, 4, 6 and 8 kg ha . Since the statistical analysis revealed non-significant difference among treatment yields, comparison was made by using total costs that vary. Accordingly, 2-4 kg ha -1 seed rate found to be optimum for the production of sesame under rain-fed condition around Kewot district and similar areas.

“…5 shows that the sun harvesting models have five criteria that must be considered, where some rules base are arranged in consultation by selecting existing indicators and will get the possibility of a decision of the three alternative crops namely no bundles/ tied, bundles/tied, small and large bundles/tied. However, it is possible to consider related to plant spacing, because the spacing will produce a high seed production or the highest seed yield is gained at 30x10 cm or 45x10 cm spacing [18]. Struktur sub-harvest models consist of 5 factors which have various indicators between 2-3.…”

The development of modern technologies of cultivation must continue, although the conventional harvesting technologies are still providing benefits. For that purpose, we need a comprehensive, effective and efficient standard operating procedures (SOP). This research applies the fuzzy logic control system to construct Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) models of technology models for the harvesting of sesame cultivation. The research method used were literature studies, field research and expert discussion in Madiun, the center of sesame plantation in Indonesia. Standard operating procedure components and criteria including models for harvesting technology, drying technology and separating of seeds. The results are standard operating procedures consisting of models for the harvesting of sesame crop, drying and separating of seeds effectively and efficiently. The package system of SOP for decisionmaking, the holistic rule-base was considered which consist of the plant, labor, location and available technology. The example of Rule-Base 'If Then', if varieties branched or not, the Single row or Double row, the location drying is limited, labor is limited, and the technology is available, the goal model harvest without No Tied, as decisions and so on for rule-rule others, and it has been available in Software.
