Influence of integrated nutrient management on growth and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under irrigated conditions

An experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2021-22 on sesame (Punjab Til No.2). The experiment comprised was conducted in split plot design with 15 treatment combination and three replications viz Main Plots SF₁: 100% RDF, SF₂: 75% RDF, SF₃: 50% RDF Sub Plots LF₁: 5% Panchgavya solution, LF₂: 5% Vermi wash solution, LF₃: 2% Urea solution + 3% Vermi wash solution, LF₄: 2% DAP solution, LF₅: 3% Panchgavya solution +5% Vermi wash solution +2% Urea solution + 1% DAP solution. The results revealed that the significantly maximum plant height (cm), Number of leaves plant^-1, Number of branches plant^-1, Dry weight plant^-1, Crop growth rate (g m^-2 day^-1), Protein content (%), Oil content (%) were observed with the application of (3% Panchgavya solution +5% Vermi wash solution +2% Urea solution + 1% DAP solution).
