Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season (2022) at Crop ResearchFarm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.),India, to study the influence of spacing and manganese on yield and economics and quality of sesame. The treatments consisted of 3 levels of spacing ( 30×10cm, 40× 10cm, 50× 10 cm) and 3 levels of manganese (1.5,3.0 and 4.5 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. The results recorded significantly higher in yield and yield attributes viz. number of capsules/plant (52.47), number of seeds per capsules (74.50), test weight (3.37 g), seed yield (1.19 t/ha), stover yield (2.67 t/ha) and oil content (48.10%).Maximum Gross returns (113050.00 (Indian Rupee) INR/ha), Net returns (76944.15(Indian Rupee) INR/ha) and Benefit cost ratio (2.13) was found in treatment (T9)with the application of 50×10cm + manganese sulfate (MnSO4) 4.5 Kg/ha.
