Abstract

To improve yield, its components and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), two different sowing methods and various humic acid levels were evaluated in at El-Horreya village, Abou El-Matamir, El-Behira governorate, Egypt, during two successive summer seasons of 2013 and 2014 in sandy loam soil. The two field experiments were design as split plot design with three replications.The treatments were distributed at random as follows; sowing methods (broadcasting or in ridges) were applied in the main plot, while humic acid levels (without, 1200, 2400, and 3600 g/ha) at two doses with first and second irrigation were allocated in the subplot. The obtained results reported that broadcasting method and Humic acid at rate of 3600 g/ha., increased yield, its components and quality of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) crop i.e. plant height (cm), number of capsules/plant, capsule length (cm), number of seeds/capsule, 1000- seed weight (g), seed, straw and biological yields (kg/ha), oil seed content (%), protein %, P %, K %, Fe, Mn and Zn concentration (mg kg-1)in seeds of sesame under study conditions.
