Author(s): V Sujatha and SVS Gangadhara Rao
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Yellamanchili, Visakhapatnam Dist., Andhra Pradesh during rabi season of 2015-16 to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients viz., FYM, vermicompost, neemcake and press mud cake on growth, yield and economics of sesame. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The results of the investigation showed that Improved practices i.e., 40:20:20 kg NPK/ha (T2) recorded significantly higher seed yield (532.4 kg/ha) and net monetary returns (2.18) over other treatments. Among the organic manures tested, application of FYM (4 t/ha) + NC (0.4 t/ha) (T7) recorded significantly higher seed yield 468.6 kg/ha) and B: C ratio (1.46) over rest of the treatments.
