Abstract
A field study pertaining to the effect of different planting patterns on the growth and yield of two varieties of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was conducted during Kharif 2001. Two varieties TS-3 and Punjab-89 were sown in planting patterns of 30 cm spaced single rows, 45 cm spaced single rows, 45 cm spaced double-row strips with 15 cm space between the rows and 60 cm spaced double-row strips with 30 cm space between the rows. The results revealed that plantation of sesame 45 cm spaced double-row strips with 15 cm space between rows gave maximum yields of 845 and 865 kg ha-1 for TS-3 and Punjab-89, respectively and it was attributed to increase in 1000 seed weight and number of seeds capsule-1. Out of two varieties, Punjab-89 produced more number of capsules per plant and 1000 seed weight than TS-3. The number of seeds were, however, high in cv. TS-3 than Punjab-89.
