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.
