Description |
A field experiment was conducted during Kharif, 1987 in randomized block design with factorial concept, with two cultivars viz., Madhavi and Gouri to investigate the effect of sowing dates on growth and development of sesame under normal irrigated conditions. It was intended to see how far the higher temperature prevailing at early sowing (16 May) would affect the growth and seed yield. 'nle sowings varied around second week of May to second week of August. Planting the crop at different dates affected the crop ontogeny, the period of vegetative growth, branching, leaf production and leaf senescence, dry matter production, flowering date and seed maturity and finally the seed yield. Planting the crop in 16 May was much productive in comparison to later sowings of until middle of August. Delayed planting around second week of August reduced the growio;;J ·season and adversely affected the growth and seed yield. The cultivars responded differently to variation in sowing dates. The components of seed yield were also affected differently in both the cultivars. The oultivar Madhavi yielded as much as Gouri in May sowing, whereas it yielded higher than Gouri with delay in sowing largely b¥ virtue of producing more capsules. Seed yield was closely correlated ~ith harvest index under different sowings. The oil content in seeds was higher in August sowing closely followed by May sowing suggesting that the prevailing temperature (29-32~) during oil synthesis was optimum. The NAR was not different between cultivars of widely different growth habits. Differences in growth rates (CGR and RGR) or in their attributes were not consistent under different sewings. It has been suggested that the two cultivars, viz., Madhavi and Gouri can be suitably grown at early plantings of Rayalaseema region. |
