Abstract
Yield and yield attributes of sesame as affected by different management practices were studied during kharif-1 season at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka in 2008. The management practices included different methods of sowing and weeding and also varying levels of fertilizer application. The results revealed that yield and yield components were significantly varied due to different management practices. Significantly highest seed yield (1.33 t ha-1 ) of sesame was measured from line sowing + using recommended fertilizer + one hand weeding at 20 DAS + insect control. The seed yield was attributed to maximum number of capsules branch -1 (10.88), capsules plant -1 (58.45), seeds capsule -1 (69.17) and harvest index (32.62%). Crops failed to show higher yield when seeds were broadcasted and given no fertilizer or any management in respect of weeding and insect control.
