Abstract:
An experiment to study the comparative effect of soil and foliar
application of urea on yield of sesamum was conducted at the Oil Seed
Research Station, Kayamkulam during 1971 - 72,
Application of half the quantity of urea as basal and half the
quantity through foliage 20 days after sowing has been found to be
beneficial in increasing yield of sesamum.
Spraying 3 .28 per cent urea 20 days after sowing has been observed
to cause leaf scorching which reduced the yield considerably.
