Abstract. This study was conducted at the Agricultural Research
Station, King Abdulaziz University at Hada El-Sham during 2007 and
2008 seasons to improve the seed yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum
L.) in the Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia. Split plot design with four
replications was used in this study. Main plot treatments were four
nitrogen rates (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg N/ha) and the sub plot
treatments were three diverse sesame cultivars, Saudi Local cv.,
Egyptian cv. “Shandaweel” and Sudanese cv. “Sudan-1”. The obtained
results of the combined analysis of the two seasons showed significant
interaction effects on the flowering date, plant height, No. of
branches/plant, No. of fruits/plant, seed weight/plant and seed
yield/ha, while no significant effects were found for the N fertilizer
rate × cultivar interaction, nitrogen fertilizer or sesame cultivars on
seed oil content.
Saudi Local cv. under the 150 and 200 kg N/ha produced the
highest significant seed yield/ha comparing with the other treatments.
Seed yields/ha were 862.47 and 869.45 kg/ha for Saudi Local cv.
under the 150 and 200 kg N/ha, respectively. Shandaweel cv. occupied
the 2
nd
rank concerning seed yield/ha with 733.37 and 729.89 kg/ha
under 150 kg N/ha and 200 kg N/ha, respectively. Sudan-1 cv.
produced the lowest seed yield under the different nitrogen fertilizer
rates. Oil contents of the three cultivars were 45.37, 45.96 and
45.80%, for Saudi Local cv., Shandaweel cv. and Sudan-1 cv.,
respectively. |
