Abstract
A experiment was conducted to study the effect of defoliation at different growth stages on sesame capsule development and yield. The results indicated that the yield of sesame decreased by defoliation. The range of yield reduction was that in full-blooming stagetermination stage of vegetative growth ultimation blooming stage. The unfull-seed rate increased and 1000-seed weight decreased by defoliation compared with the check (without defoliation). The ealier defoliation was done, the higher unfull-seed rate and lighter 1000-seed weight were. Some practics to prolong leaf functional period for enhancing yield were recommended.
