In a 1987 field study juveniles of Meloidogyne arenaria assayed at the time of peanut harvest were almost undetectable in plots planted with American jointvetch (Aeschynomene americana), castor bean (Ricinus communis), partridge pea (Cassia fasiculata), sesame (Sesamum indicum), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), whereas plots with peanut (Arachis hypogaea) averaged 120 juveniles/100 cm(3) soil. ...

Salinization is a global environmental problem. It particularly prevalent in Africa areas with low rainfall trend such as the Senegalese groundnut basin where 20% of land affected. reduces food production by more than 10%. In Senegal, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) moderately tolerant to drought and salinity increasingly cultivated. an alternative fight poverty rural allows revaluation salty land....

The nutritional attributes of sesame, Sesamum indicum, vary substantially and are primarily influenced by the plant’s genetic makeup. This investigation accessed biochemical composition sesame mutants from two generations. Seeds eleven M3 lines were planted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) to raise M4 lines, which advanced M5 generation. seeds harvested at maturity, their compositio...

Gamma tocopherol content of 7 Iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicum L.) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using C8 column and methanol, water and butanol as mobile phase. The gamma-tocopherol content varied from 563 to 1095 mg/kg in oil and 293 to 569 mg/kg in sesame seed and was in broad agreement with the Codex range. A large variation was found in the concentration of ...

Abstract This paper investigates agricultural practices during the 1st millennium BCE in Greece. New archaeobotanical data provide fresh insights on plant economy at urban centers of Sikyon and Olynthos, dated to Archaic-Classical period. The results show that staple Olynthos was based a broad spectrum. However, analysis records presence taxa such as sesame (Sesamum indicum) pine (Pinus pinea) ...

The experimental study was undertaken in the Wild species garden and Oilseeds farm at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, during Rabi’ 2021 to know association between yield its component traits cultivated wild of Sesame. Nine varieties Sesamum indicum three species, namely alatum, malabaricum, radiatum were assessed for eight quantitative plant height, number branches per plant, da...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the world’s oldest oil crops and has been cultivated in Asia since ancient times. The breeding potential of the germplasm accessions held in PGRP gene-bank has hardly been exploited to date. This study was carried out to evaluate the phenotypic variability in the local sesame genotypes using 16 qualitative and quantitative traits. A total of 105 sesame acce...
