Effect of Irrigation Frequency and Weed Management on Growth and Yield of Sesame
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study evaluates the impact of irrigation frequency and weed management on the growth and yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh. A split-plot design with four irrigation levels and four weed management strategies was employed. Results indicated that three irrigations at 20, 40, and 60 days after sowing significantly enhanced plant height, branch number, and seed yield. Weed control using herbicide applications and manual weeding effectively minimized competition, leading to improved crop performance. The findings emphasize the importance of efficient water use and integrated weed management in maximizing sesame productivity.
