| Abstract | ||||
| A study was conducted during the 2018 and 2019 summer seasons at Toshka Agricultural Research Station, Agric. Res., Cent., Ministry of Agriculture, Egypt, with the objective to study the effect of sowing date and planting methods on productivity and oil content of three sesame varieties. The experiment was laid out in a split-split plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Sowing dates were assigned to the main plots while planting methods were in the sup-plot and varieties in the sub-sub-plot. There was a significant effect of the interaction between sowing dates, sowing method, and varieties on study traits (capsule length, capsule width, 1000-seed weight, seed yield per Fadden, and seed oil content). The highest values of capsule length were obtained from the interaction of D1M3V3, capsule width from D3M2V3, and the number of capsules per plant from D1M2V1. The interaction D2M2V2 gave the highest values of 1000-seed weight, seed yield per Fadden, and seed oil content. | ||||
