Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of foliar application of NPK and micronutrients on summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)” was carried out during summer season of 2022 on clayey soil having pH 8.01 and EC 0.49 dSm-1 at Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications, comprised with 10 treatments of T1 (100% RDF, i.e. 50:25:40 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1), T2 (T1 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS), T3 (75% of RDF + 1.5% WSF at 30 and 45 DAS), T4 (75% of RDF + 2.0% WSF at 30 and 45 DAS), T5 (50% of RDF + 1.5% WSF at 30 and 45 DAS), T6 (50% of RDF + 2.0% WSF at 30 and 45 DAS), T7 (T3 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS), T8 (T4 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS), T9 (T5 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS) and T10 (T6 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS). The sesame variety (GJT-5) was tested in the experiment.

The sesame variety (GJT-5) was tested in the experiment.
The initial phases of crop growth and plant population did not show a significant response to treatments, while, significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., plant height 60 DAS and at harvest, number of branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1, SPAD meter reading and yield attributes viz., number of capsule plant-1, length of capsule, number of seeds capsule-1, seed weight and yield viz., seed yield (1386 kg ha-1) and stover yield (2124 kg ha-1), quality parameters viz., protein content and oil yield, net return of (₹74425 ha-1) were recorded higher with the application of T8 (T4 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS). Significantly, being at par with application of T7 (T3 + Foliar spray of multi micro mixture grade - IV @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAS) while the significantly lowest values of all those parameters were recorded with the application of T5 (50% of RDF + 1.5% WSF at 30 and 45 DAS).
