| Abstract: |
A field experiment was conducted in Butana area in season 2019 and season 2020 in a randomized factorial design with three replications to benchmark the performance of sesame crop (Plant height "cm", moisture content "%", number of capsules/plant, seeds weight (mg), and mean yield "kg/ha") under three water harvesting techniques (tied furrows, semi-circular bund and contour basin "basins enclosed by traditional terraces") assigned to the main plots, and three watering practices (fully-irrigated, supplemental irrigation and rain - fed systems) assigned to sub-plot. Water was applied from a farm reservoir "Hafir" to the field by a mobile gun sprinkler. Statistical analysis indicated that both water harvesting techniques and watering application practices significantly (p |
