ABSTRACT

A field experiment was carried out during summer, 2024 on sandy loam soils of dryland farm, S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati, to study the Effect of liquid biofertilizers on productivity of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)”. The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design and replicated thrice. Application of liquid biofertilizers resulted in significant effects on yield components viz., number of branches plant-1, number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1, seed yield and stalk yield of sesame. Among the different treatments tried, significantly higher stature of yield attributes and yield were recorded with the 100 % RDF + seed treatment + soil application of liquid biofertilizers (T5). The lowest values of yield attributes and yield were obtained with absolute control (T₁).

KEYWORDS: Sesame, Seed treatment, Soil application, Liquid biofertilizers.
