Allometric Expression of Sesame Cultivars in Response to Various Environments and Nutrition

Sesame cultivars perform differently in various environments comprising specific locations and years. Micronutrient fertilizers increase crop yields and can enhance resistance to environmental hazards and contribute to potential yield. For assessing the effect of environment and micronutrients, fiel...

Maximum mean values of capsule length, capsule weight, seeds capsules<sup>−1</sup> and the weight of 1000 seeds were recorded for TH-6 but vice versa for SG-30.

description Sesame cultivars perform differently in various environments comprising specific locations and years. Micronutrient fertilizers increase crop yields and can enhance resistance to environmental hazards and contribute to potential yield.
