Shakil Haider Zaidi and Anwar Ahmad Khan
ABSTRACT
Cultivation trials were conducted on four sesame (Sesamum indicum) varieties to judge their performance and response to fertilizers under Peshawar climatic conditions during the years 1978 and 1979. Varieties S-17 gave higher seed yield as compared to Calinda, Pu 37-40 and Local (black seeded). Application of nitrophos fertilizer containing 20% N and 20% P2O5 were added at the rate of 165 kg/ha (i.e. 33:33 kg NP/ha) gave higher seed yield as compared to super phosphate supplied at the rate of 183 kg/ha (33 kg P2O5) and urea at the rate of 72 kg/ha (33kg N).
