The effect of micronutrients applied as foliar spray, on yield & yield attributes and oil content of sesame crop (Sesamum indicum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2017 at field experiment, Department of Agronomy, Bhagwant University to study the effect of micronutrients applied as foliar spray, on yield & yield attributes and oil content of sesame crop. The field experiments were laid out in a Randomized Block Design. All treatments recorded significantly yield parameters and oil content over control. However, T9 (mixture of all above micronutrient) recorded significantly yield and oil content than the other treatments. Similarly yield and oil content components were significantly higher in T9 (mixture of all above micronutrient) where as control recorded significantly lower yield parameters and oil content.
