A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Experimental Farm Department, College of agriculture, Latur (Maharashtra) during kharif season of 2022-23 to study the “Effect of different spacing and varieties of kharif sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) on growth and yield”. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with nine treatment combinations, consisting of two factors i.e., different spacing and varieties. The factor-A consist of three spacing’s viz. S₁- 30cm x 20cm, S₂- 45cm x 15cm, S₃- 60cm x 10cm and factor-B consist of three varieties practices viz. V₁-TLT-10, V₂-TKG-22 and V₃- JLT-408. The result of the experiment revealed that spacing S₃- 60cm × 10cm recorded significantly highest growth and seed yield over spacing S₂- 45cm × 15cm and S₃- 30cm × 20cm. The variety TLT-10 recorded highest seed yield and growth.
