Physiological analysis of the growth, development and yield of oil-seed sesame
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a crop of great antiquity which is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, South and North America and to some extent in Russia for edible oil and for animal feed purposes. The average yield in India is only about 235 kg/ha. Even under good management practices the seed yields usually remain poor and, therefore, commercial prospects of sesame production are not good.
