Investigation of change of yield and yield components in sesame (Sesamum indicum l.) according to years and locations

Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of second crop sesame growing in Manisa, Antalya, İzmir, and Şanlıurfa ecological conditions between 2008 and 2012, and to shed light on future studies. Baydar2001, Muganli-57, Arslanbey, Ozberk-82, Birkan, Orhangazi-99, Hatipoglu, Boydak and BATEM-Uzun varieties were used as plant material. It seems that the change of ecological environmental conditions has very importance in the second crop sesame cultivation. In this study, while the highest seed yield was obtained from İzmir location, the lowest seed yield was obtained from Şanlıurfa location. It is concluded that Arslanbey and Hatipoglu varieties will be recommended in Şanlıurfa location and BATEM-Uzun variety in Aegean and Mediterranean locations. © 2020, Centenary University.
