Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment was conducted on Effect of Boron levels and farmyard manure on physiological growth and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum) at college farm college of agriculture, Rajendranagar during kharif season 2014 in split-plot design with two main treatments viz M1 (recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), 40-60-40 kg NPK ha-1) and M2 (RDF) along with application of 25 per cent N through farmyard manure and three sub-treatments viz S1 (2.5 kg B ha-1), S2 (5.0 kg B ha-1) and S3 (7.5 kg B ha-1). Application of RDF along with 25 per cent N through FYM recorded higher leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, seed yield and quality of sesame over application of RDF alone. Among boron levels application of 7.5 kg boron ha-1 recorded leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, seed yield and quality of sesame and it was on par with application of over application of 5.0 kg ha-1.
