Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of sulphur and foliar application of liquid manures on growth and yield of sesame at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during kharif season 2022. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations with four levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) in factor “A” and four treatments liquid manures viz., control, panchgavya, vermiwash and matka khad in factor “B”, which were replicated three times in Factorial Randomised Block Design.
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of sulphur and foliar application of liquid manures on growth and yield of sesame at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during kharif season 2022. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations with four levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) in factor “A” and four treatments liquid manures viz., control, panchgavya, vermiwash and matka khad in factor “B”, which were replicated three times in Factorial Randomised Block Design.
Results showed that different levels of sulphur brought significant change in growth and yield of sesame. Significantly higher plant height and dry matter accumulation at different growth stages, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, test weight, seed, stalk and biological yields of sesame were recorded under the treatment 40 kg sulphur/ha over control and 20 kg sulphur/ha and it remained at par with the treatment 60 kg sulphur/ha. However, the highest chlorophyll content was found with the application of 60 kg sulphur/ha.
The experimental findings further revealed that the application of liquid manures significantly improved the growth and yield of sesame. The application of panchgavya significantly produced higher plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, test weight, seed, stalk and biological yields of sesame over control and Matka Khad but remained statistically equivalent to vermiwash.
