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 role of sources of sulphur on different yield attributes and yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivars. The FRBD was used to lay out the experiment with three replications. There are total 12 combinations of treatments which comprised of 4 sesame 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 maximum dry matter accumulation plant^-1and highest number of capsule plant^-1, seed weight plant^-1, straw weight plant^-1, seed and straw yield and harvest index of sesame as compared with all other treatments. Among the sources of sulphur, SSP recorded significantly maximum dry matter accumulation plant^-1 and highest number of capsule plant^-1, seed weight plant^-1, straw weight plant^-1, seed and straw yield and harvest index of sesame compared to all other treatments. Among the sesame cultivar, AKT-101 found significantly superior for yield attributes and yield of sesame and among the sulphur sources, application of SSP proved significantly superior for yield attributes and yield of sesame.
