Abstract

The efect ofsowing date interval on the growth andyield of four sesame Unes

The expeiment was conducted in Asembagus Experiment Garden. Baayuputih, Situbondo Distic from August 1994 o April 1993. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of five sowing date intervals on the growth and yield of four sesame (Sesamum indicum L) hues on dry land and dry climate The experiment wss arranged in split plot design with four replications. The main plot consisted of five diferent sowing datemlervab ie. (1)(WT) November 15. 1994, (2) (WT + 20) December 5, 1994, (3) (WT + 40) December 23, 1994, (4) (WT + 60) January 14, 1995 and (5) (WT * 80) February 3, 1993. While the sub plot consisted of four sesame lines i.e. (A) Pachequino, (B) Venezuela, (C) Sesamindo and (D)Grati KKO. The treatments of sowing dates and sesame lines afected the plants height, banch number, harvesting time, plant population, capsule number, weight of 1 000 seeds, weight of seed per capsule, weight of husk pet capsule, and yield of seed. Sesamindo planted at early wet season (first week of December) gave the highest seed yield (1 240 kg/ha).
