Study on Suitable Planting Methods and Seeding Rates of Sesame Line KU 7118 and KU 7131 as Compare with Other Varieties

Abstract

Field experiment of planting methods and seeding rates in five seasame accession including KU 7118, KU 7131 (two single stem varieties) and CW 103, MKS 60 and Nakhon Sawan (NW) (three branching type varieties) were conducted at the National Corn and Sorghum Research Center, Pakchong district, nakhon Ratchasima province during March to June 1992. Four replications of randomized complete block design were used with the treatments combination of broadcating and drill methods of planting and seeding rates of 1, 1.5 and 2 kg per rai (6.25, 9.38 and 12.50 kg per hectare). The result revealed that Single stem line, KU 7118 and slightly branching type varieties, CW 103 and MKS 60 gave highest seed yield when drilled at seeding rate of 1 kg per rai. However, Nakhon Sawan, a branching type variety obtained highest seed yield from the broadcast plot at seeding rate of 1 kg per rai.
