ABSTRACT

Optimum sowing dates provide the optimal temperature for the most significant yield. The objective of the study is to determine the optimum period for development. The relationship exists between crop growth qualities of two Sesame (Sesamum indicum) varieties (GT-10 and JTS-8) and environmental factors at different sowing dates(March,2023 to June,2023).The March planting of Sesame varieties resulted in the highest dry matter production (DMP), relative growth rate (RGR), NAR, LAR, SLA, LWR, and 100 seeds weight and seeds yield per plant, amid a reduction in yield in the months after sowing.While the weight of 100 seeds evolves greater GT-10 in comparison to JTS-8, the JTS-8 variety proved to perform the best morphological attributes throughout all four treatments.The non-adjustability in the climatic conditions of these months was shown to have a negative impact on the crop growth rate (CGR).JTS-8 variety for greater fodder and GT-10 variety for a higher yield may be advocated. Additionally, it was shown that Sesame seeds sown too late had a negative impact on these qualities.
