| Summary: | A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting scale on sesame yield under coastal conditions during 2016 at the Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Science, Uthal, Balochistan. The trial treatment included three sesame varieties i.e. SV1 ('TS-5'), SV2 ('TH-6') and SV3 ('4002') grown at three sowing dates at 15 days' intervals, S1 = 1st sowing (15 March 2016), S2 = 2nd sowing (1 April 2016) and S3 = 3rd sowing (15 April 2016). The results of various growth and yield attributes were found to be significant, and a non-significant interaction was found for sowing dates and sesame genotypes. Maximum yield was observed at S3= 3rd sowing date (15 April 2016) for SV1 ('TS-5') under the applied treatment. Testing under the coastal environmental conditions of the Lasbela District suggested that maximum seed weight was obtained by planting the sesame variety 'TS-5' on 15 April 2016. |
