Abstract

In Ethiopia, sesame is the leading oil crop followed by Niger seed and linseed; and oil seed is the third largest sector after cereal and pulse. Production and productivity of sesame is greatly affected by lack of optimum fertilizer rate, inappropriate sowing time, lack of optimum plant population, biotic and a biotic factor such as disease and pest infestation, low yielding variety, post-harvest lost, low fertilizer response, difference in capsule maturity, shattering etc. The study was carried out in 2018 main cropping season at Uke in Guto Gida District of East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State with the objectives of investigating the effects of NPS fertilizer rates on yield and yield components of sesame varieties. The treatment consisted of three sesame varieties (Chalsa, Dicho and Obsa) and five levels of NPS fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha) and combined factorially and laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data were taken for agronomic traits and subjected to analysis of variance using General Liner Model procedures of SAS (SAS, 2004) and means differences were tested for their significance using least significance difference method. The results of analysis of variance indicated that the effects of varieties were significant (P<0.05) for all parameters except for days to 50% emergency, length of capsule bearing zone and capsule length. Similarly, the effects of NPS fertilizer rates were significant (P<0.05) for all parameters. The interaction effect of varieties by NPS fertilizer rates were significant (P<0.05) for all parameters except for days to 50% emergency and capsule length. Obsa variety with application of 150kg NPS/ha fertilizer gave the highest grain yield (813.9kg/ha). Generally, sesame yield can be increased substantially by applying NPS fertilizer rate up to 150kg/ha to all the three varieties. The application of 150kg NPS/ha specifically to Obsa variety increased grain yield and yield components of sesame through improving soil nutrient availability resulting in better vegetative growth, yield components and, thereby, higher yield and net benefit, 20572.5 ETB/ha thus, can be recommended for the production of sesame in the study area. However, since the study was conducted only at one location for single cropping season and it should be repeated at diverse locations and years to give a conclusive recommendation.
