واﻛﻨﺶ رﺷﺪی و ﻋﻤﻠﻜﺮد ﮔﻴﺎه ﻛﻨﺠﺪ (Sesamum indicum L) ﺗﺤﺖ ﺗﺎﺛﻴﺮ ﺑﺮﺧﻲ ﻣﺪﻳﺮﻳﺖﻫﺎی ﺑﻪزراﻋﻲ

To study the effect of density and planting pattern on growth indices and yield of sesame, an experiment using split-plot based on randomized complete blocks design was performed. The experiment was carried with three replications in crop year 2013 at the agricultural research station of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. For this purpose, the main factor was the density per square meter with three levels (30, 40 and 50 plants per square meter) and the subsidiary factor was planting pattern (rectangle, square and Rhombic). Comparing the three mentioned densities, the rhombic pattern is superior to the two other patterns in the investigation of dry matter and leaf area index. Maximum total dry matter and leaf area index was achieved in the density of 50 plants per square meter in the rhombic pattern. The highest yield achieved with density of 50 plants per square meter in rhombic planting pattern at a rate of 1100 gr/m2per year. It's concluded that 50 plants per square meter in the rhombic pattern is a suitable combination of treatments.
