ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at college farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar during kharif season of 2014 to study the effect of different levels of boron on yield and nutrient uptake of kharif sesame with application of farmyard manure. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with two main treatments viz., M1- RDF (40-60-40 kg NPK ha-1), M2- RDF along with application of 25% 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 % N through FYM recorded highest nutrient uptake, seed yield and stover yield over application of RDF alone. Among boron levels application of 7.5 kg boron ha-1 recorded highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1, seed yield, stover yield and harvest index. However it was on par with application of 5.0 kg boron ha-1.
Key words :
Boron, Farmyard manure, Growth & yield attributes, Physico-chemical properties, Sesame.
