Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during kharif 2017 to study the effect of sulphur and boron on growth, yield and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). The experiment was laid out in factorial RCBD design with 12 treatments replicated thrice. Application of 30 kg sulphur with 5 kg borax per hectare recorded significantly higher seed yield of 470.00 kg ha-1 and which is on par with application of 40 kg sulphur with 5 kg borax per ha (455.13 kg ha-1) and 40 kg sulphur with 2.5 kg borax per ha recorded seed yield of 461.56 kg ha-1. Significantly lowest seed yield (273.33 kg ha-1) was recorded with no sulphur and borax application. The increased seed yield was mainly due to enhanced growth parameters like plant height (119.20 cm), leaf area per plant (867.00 cm2), total dry matter per plant (25.07 g) at harvest and yield attributes like number of capsules per plant (81.67), length of capsules (4.11 cm) and seeds per locule (41.30).
