Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of 2 cultivars ( TMV 3 and TMV 4 ) of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to different spacings and ferti lizer levels in sandy loam soil during the rainy and summer seasons 3f 1996 and 1997. The variety TMV 4 registered the tallest plant in both the seasons and it produced the maximum dry matter. Closer spacing (30 cm x 30 cm) and highest level of nutrients recorded maximum dry matter during summer season. Variety TMV 4 recorded the mean seed yield of 723 kglha and 1,273 during tiie rainy season and summer season respectively. Fertilizers of 150% of recommended level resulted in significantly higher (1,522 kglha) seed yield during summer than lower level but it was on a par with recommended level of fertilizer during the rainy season.
