Abstract


To find out the effect of sowing dates and plant population on the yield of sesamum, field experiments were conducted over a period of three years from 1980-81 to 1982-83 in the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University farm at Coimbatore. The results showed that early sowing viz.. immediately after the onset of monsoon was superior over the rest of planting dates. Among the different population levels, two lakh plants per hectare (30x15 cm) recorded higher yield's than the other population levels in all the three years of experimentation.
