Effect of different plant geometry on growth and yield of sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.) during post monsoon season in Marathwada region of Maharashtra

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Parbhani (Maharashtra) during post monsoon season 2017 on sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to analyze the growth and yield of sesame in relation to varieties (Phule Til-1, AKT-64, JLT-408) and spacing (30 x 10 cm, 45 x 10 cm, 60 x 10 cm and 45 x 15 cm). The results revealed that the variety JLT-408 recorded highest grain yield (391 kg ha-1) which was found superior over varieties Phule Til-1 and AKT-64. Spacing 30 x 10 cm (412 kg ha-1) produced higher grain yield and it was found significantly superior over rest of the spacing.
