| Abstract | ||
| A field experiment was conducted at the Expercimental farm, Department of Field Crops Sciences, College of Agriculture, Abu-Ghraib during 2004 and 2005 seasons to evaluate the effect of soil application , foliar spraying and the combination of soil and foliar application on growth and yield of sesame var. Ishtar. The layout of the experiment was RCBD with three replications. The results showed that the combination of potassium soil addition and three sprays surpassed the other treatments in number of branches / plant, dry weight of plant, capsule number / plant, weight of 1000 seeds, seed yield and percentage of oil in seed, while the control treatment produced a least means of all studied characters. The plant height, number of seed / capsule and potassium concentration in the leaves were not significantly affected treatments compared with the control. The combined effect of potassium soil and three sprays produced the highest seed yield (1764.69 , 1694.73) kg.ha" compared with control (1033.59 , 987.56) kg.ha-1 in both seasons, respectively. | ||
