Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is the oldest oilseed crop known and
cultivated by man. Among the oilseed crops, sesame ranks first for
having the highest oil content of 46-64 per cent and 6355 K cal per
kg dietary energy in seeds. The seed of sesame is also rich in
protein (20-28 %), sugar (14-16 %) and minerals (5-7 %).The
specific reasons identified for the low yield of sesame in India is
due to its cultivation under sub-marginal lands without due
importance to the choice of appropriate season, high yielding
variety, nutrient management and new agro-technological packages.
One way of increasing the productivity in sesame is by increasing
the number of branches leading to increase in total number of
capsules per plant. Maintaining the plant population also plays a
vital role in realizing the yield potential of sesame. Possibility
of cultivation of sesame in summer season under irrigated condition
wherever supplemental water resource is available had not been
tried or practiced by the farmers of this region. Therefore,
selection of suitable variety, time of sowing, appropriate geometry
and agronomic technologies are importance for increasing the
productivity of sesame in this region.
