Description A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, UAS,
Dharwad, Karnataka in medium black clay soil during kharif 2012 to study the effect of
nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in
northern transition zone of Karnataka. The experiment was laid out in RCBD, with 14
treatments and three replication. The treatments consisting of 100% nitrogen as basal,
application of nitrogen in two equal splits (at the time of sowing and 30 DAS) and foliar
application of 1.5% Urea and 1.5 % DAP at flower initiation stage, capsule initiation stage
and in both the stages were tried in different combinations. Recommended dose of P2O5 and
K2O was applied commonly for all the treatments.
The treatment receiving application of nitrogen in two equal splits and DAP @1.5 %
foliar spray first at flower initiation stage and second at capsule initiation stage recorded
significantly higher sesame seed yield (730 kg ha-1) and stalk yield (2393 kg ha-1) along with
higher seed oil content (49.43%) and oil yield (361 kg ha-1). The total dry matter production
per plant (20.73 g plant -1), number of branches per plant (4.87), gross returns (` 36517 ha-1),
net returns (` 23141ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.73) were also significantly higher by the treatment
receiving application of nitrogen in two equal splits and DAP @ 1.5 % foliar spray first at
flower initiation stage and second at capsule initiation stage compared to other treatments.
The next best treatment was application of nitrogen in two equal splits and DAP @ 1.5 %
foliar spray at flower initiation stage.
