Impact of pollination and fertilization on sesame production in the reclaimed lands, Ismailia governorate, Egypt.
2012
The research was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm, Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Suez Canal during the sesame growing seasons of
2011 and 2012. For the purpose of studying the impact of insect pollination
and nitrogen fertilization on sesame production, the experiment was divided
into 13 treatments of open pollination and non open pollination with three
different levels of ammonium nitrate (N) and one level of seryalin as
bio-fertilizer. Non open pollination treatments were covered before the start
of flowering period with a perforated net bag to allow the air to pass
through and to prevent insects from approaching the plants. Quantitative and
qualitative parameters were measured as follows: number of capsules per
plant, capsule weight, number of seeds per capsule, weight of 1000 seeds,
germination rate, seedling vigour and oil content. Results clearly
demonstrate that qualitative and quantitative parameters of sesame crop
significantly increased with open pollination and with the increase of
nitrogen fertilizer level up to 95 kg N/ha plus or minus seryalin in
reclaimed sandy soils in Ismailia, Egypt.
