Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at college farm of N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the “Influence of foliar application of boron and terminal bud clipping on growth, yield and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)” during summer season of 2023. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. The results revealed that foliar application of boron @ 150 mg/l + terminal bud clipping at 35 DAS recorded significantly higher plant height at harvest, number of branches/ plants, no. of capsule/plant, seed yield and stalk yield. The lowest values for yield and yield attributes were found with no application of boron + no clipping treatment. The experiment results showed that foliar application of boron @ 150 mg/l + terminal bud clipping at 35 DAS are promising for optimum yield and higher economic returns.
