Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019-20 at Farm of Agronomy Section, College of Agriculture, Latur to find out the influence of different organic manures on growth and yield attributes of sesame. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with nine treatments and replicated three times. The treatments were T1-Control, T2-100%N (Urea), T3-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (FYM), T4-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Vermicompost), T5-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Poultry manure), T6-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Neem cake), T7-75%N(Urea) + 25%N (Karanj cake), T8-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Castor cake) and T9-75%N (Urea) + Azotobactor. Application of 75%N through (Urea) + 25%N through (Poultry manure) (T5) resulted in maximum seed yield (516 kg ha-1), oil content (48.67%) and oil yield (251 kg ha-1). Maximum gross monetary return (₹ 51642 ha-1), net monetary return (₹ 29106 ha-1), cost of cultivation (₹ 22536 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.29) were also obtained due to application of 75%N through (Urea) + 25%N through (Poultry manure) (T5).
