Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during zaid season of 2020, at the crop research farm of the Department of Agronomy at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj with the objective to study the effect of different levels of Sulphur and Spacing on Growth, Yield and Economics of Zaid Sesame (Sesame indicum L.) with 2 different Spacing and 4 different levels of Sulphur. Maximum plant height (93.73cm), highest no. of branches (8.47),maximum dry weight (14.53), Maximum no. of capsules/plant (57.10), Highest no of seeds/capsule (50.2), test weight (2.67), Grain yield (1.156 kg/ha), Stover yield (2,076 kg/ha), Harvest index (41.00), Highest gross return (80,920 INR/ha), maximum net return (52,542 INR/ha), and Benefit: cost ratio (1.8) was recorded with the application of treatment no.8 RDF+ 35 S kg/ha + 45 X 10 cm Spacing. However, Highest crop growth rate (2.37) and relative growth rate (0.0040) were recorded with treatment no.9 i.e., control. Hence, concluded that treatment no. 8 RDF +35 S kg/ha + 45 X 10 cm spacing was economically sound, preferred for farmers.
