Investigation of Water Stress on Yield and Yield Components of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in Moghan Region

Growth and Yield of Sesame (<i>Sesamum indicum</i> L.) under the Influence of Planting Geometry and Irrigation Regimes

“…Planting geometry of 45 × 15 cm produced maximum parameters, particularly seed yield (742.33 kg•ha −1 ). Among irrigation regimes, four irrigations (20,40, 60 and 80 DAS) recorded highest traits, particularly seed yield (748.78 kg•ha −1 ). In case of interaction, planting geometry 45 × 15 cm × four irrigations (20,40, 60 and 80 DAS) resulted in greatest values, particularly seed yield (765.00 kg•ha −1 ).…”

“…In a recent study, the predictions for moisture stress suggested applying five irrigations to sesame [20]. Applying six irrigations gave the highest values of yield and its attributes, whereas the lowest values were recorded from applying five irrigations and skipping one at the beginning of flowering [21].…”

Response of sesame (<i>Sesamum indicum</i> L.) to moisture regime and nitrogen fertilizer in Ilorin, Nigeria

“…In Nigeria, research on the sesame crop water relation is relatively scanty in comparison with other oil crops, mainly because it is cultivated in areas of erratic rainfall which may be the reason for low yield of 367 kg/ha compared to Egypt's 1323 kg/ha, Ethiopia`s 825 kg/ha and Uganda's 609 kg/ha (FAO, 2009) and seldom grown commercially under irrigation (El Mahdi and Abdel Rahman, 2008). However, the crop is grown under irrigation conditions in arid and semi-arid parts of the world, which are characterized by high temperatures, solar radiation and evaporation rate (Witcombe et al, 2008;Hassanzadeh et al, 2009). The study was carried out to assess the growth and yield of sesame under different nitrogen rates and moisture regimes.…”
