A field experiment was carried out during summer (Feb-May) 2011-12 to study the effect of nutrients and terminal clipping on growth and yield of summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) at College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was laid out in FRB design. Twelve treatment combinations were tested in three replications. The experiment comprised of three levels of nutrients viz., N1-RDF, N2-RDF + ZnSo4 and N3-RDF + FeSo4 and four clippings viz., Co-no clipping, C1-clipping at 25 DAS, C2-clipping at 35 DAS and C3-clipping at 45 DAS. It is evident from the results that, treatment of nutrients N2-RDF + ZnSO4 was proved to be significantly superior than over other levels of nutrients and control in respect of plant height, number of branches plant-1, mean dry matter accumulation plant-1, number of capsules plant-1, seed yield kg ha-1, oil content (%), oil yield kg ha-1, Gross monetary returns, net monetary returns and benefit cost ratio. Among different clippings treatments plant height was significantly superior in C0-no clipping, number of branches plant-1 in C2-clipping at 35 DAS followed by C1-clipping at 25 DAS and C3-clipping at 45 DAS and dry matter accumulation plant-1 in C2-clipping at 35 DAS. Highest seed yield kg ha-1, oil yield kg ha-1 as well as gross monetary returns, net monetary returns and B: C ratio was recorded in clipping treatment C2-clipping at 35 DAS.
