Abstract
To study the effect of sulphur and boron on the yield and quality of sesame, a field experiment was conducted with four levels of sulphur (viz., 0, 20, 40, and 60 kg ha-1) and four levels of boron (viz., 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kg ha-1). After harvesting, plant samples were analyzed for oil content and contents of N, P, K, and S, after recording the seed and stover yield. Sulphur and boron application significantly increased the plant height, number of capsules per plant, and stover yield. Sulphur application significantly increased seed yield up to 40 kg ha-1. Boron application increased seed yield significantly up to the highest level. Protein content in seeds was found to be decreased initially up to S40 level and thereafter increased with the application of the highest dose of sulphur. Boron application significantly increased protein content up to its highest level. The oil content was increased with sulphur application up to its highest level. Oil yield was found to be increased up to the highest level of both nutrients. Boron and sulphur interacted synergistically in increasing oil yield. Sulphur and boron application increased chlorophyll content in leaves. Sulphur application up to 40 kg ha-1 resulted in higher P, K, and S content in plants. Boron application increased phosphorus content in plants marginally. Nitrogen content in seeds was found to be decreased with sulphur application up to the S40 level. Thereafter, it reached its maximum value with the application of the maximum dose of sulphur. Sulphur application resulted in increased K and S contents in seeds. The application of sulphur significantly increased N, P, K, and S uptake by stover. Both nutrients interacted synergistically in enhancing phosphorus uptake by the plant. Sulphur and boron application significantly increased N, P, and S uptake by seeds up to their respective highest levels. Boron application also increased P uptake by seeds. Total N, P, and K uptake by sesame was increased with the application of both sulphur and boron.
