Abstract:
The experimental research was run on the field during summer season of 2019-20 at Post Graduate Institute Research Farm, MPKV, Rahuri, Ahmednagar (MS), to investigate the result of sources of sulphur on growth of different sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivars. The FRBD was used to lay out the experiment with three replications. Total combinations of treatments are 12 which comprised of 4 sesamum cultivars (AKT-101, JLT-408, PT-1 & JLT-7) and 3 sources of sulphur (Bensulf, Elemental Sulphur & Single Super Phosphate). In respect of sesame cultivar, AKT-101 cultivar recorded significantly highest count of leaves plant^-1, leaf area plant^-1, count of branches plant^-1, days to 50% flowering and days to maturity but significantly maximum plant height was observed with cv. PT 1 of sesame as compared with all other treatments. Among the sources of sulphur, SSP recorded significantly higher plant height, count of leaves plant^-1, leaf area plant^-1, count of branches plant^-1, days to 50% flowering and days to maturity of sesame compared to all other treatments. Among the sesame cultivar, AKT-101 found significantly superior for growth of sesame and among the sulphur sources, application of SSP proved significantly superior for growth of sesame.
