Two sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum L.) were evaluated using various 3 different sowing dates (20 th June, 10 th and 30 th July) and four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha -1 ) at the New Developmental Farm of The University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2012. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement using f...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to develop a rapid and efficient method to determine lignan glucosides in intact seeds of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) germplasm accessions in Korea. A total of 93 samples (about 2 g of intact seeds) were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator, and the reference values for lignan glucosides contents were measured by high performance...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a drought tolerant oilseed crop with the highest oleic acid content, which isyet to be explored for its hybrid vigour. Therefore, present study was carried at Sri Karan Narendra AgricultureUniversity, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan during 2019–20 and 2020–21 combining ability 11 seed yieldand attributing traits in 10 parents their 45 crosses sesame. The effects of gene...

in order to study the effects of biofertilizers and different water volume per irrigation on vegetative characteristics and seed yield of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009. this experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replica...

yekta was created in 1981 from crossing between b5 ? m7 and an early maturing palistinian line, in oil seed crops research department of seed and plant improvement institute (spii) at karaj. the pure line of the cross was obtained after five years of selection with pedigree method. preliminary evaluation of the line along with other 31 selected lines was done in 1989 and yekta together with oth...

Sesame ( Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the most ancient oilseed crops cultivated for its edible oil and uses in food. seeds are very nutritious confer health benefits. However, potential production Uganda has not been fully realized. The objective this review was to summarize trends sesame production, export quantity, value, challenges, strategies sustainable seed Uganda. revealed area harveste...

as sesame is a somewhat neglected crop, information concerning its response to salinity is lacking. the effects of nacl stress were studied on seven genotypes of sesamum indicum l. the 6-weeks-old sesame seedlings were treated with different nacl concentrations (0, 30, and 60 mm). the nacl caused significant decreases in fresh and dry mass of all genotypes; however responses of genotypes to the...

The effects of extracts of sesame, Sesamum indicum L. (Liamiales: Pedaliaceae), and whole leaves of some selected cultivars of sesame were tested using a natural host Spodoptera litura (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Indices taken using the immature stages include; diet utilization, growth and development and induction of detoxification enzymes. The results indicate that S. litura generally sele...

The fatty acid composition was evaluated in field grown sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum L.) at New Developmental Farm Agriculture University, Peshawar, KPK Pakistan during summer 2012. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with split plot arrangement having four replications each. Two sesame cultivars viz., local black and local white were sown at different dates i.e. 20 June, 10 and 30 July, a...
