Abstract: The experiment designed to study the effect of foliar application of nutrients on growth and yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was conducted at the Agricultural Experimental Farm of Calcutta University at Baruipur, in 24 Parganas (South) [88028 East longitude, 22022’ N latitude and 9.75maltitude] during summer (February-May) in the year 2009. The treatment combination, urea (0.4%) + KCL (1.0%) have best significant effect on physiological and metabolic system of the crops over the control. It might contribute to develop efficient "Sink strength" leading to improved yield attributing character. The yield components and yield have manifested better expression under the application of urea (0.4%) +KCL (1.0%) followed by the application of urea (0.4%) + KNO3 (1.0%). The mean yield under urea (0.4%) + KCL (1.0%), urea (0.4%) +KNO3 (1.0%) and control are 7.85, 7.81 and 6.21 quintal/ha respectively.
