Abstract: Sesame is grown in India during kharif, rabi and summer seasons. It is grown both in kharif and rabi in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Odisha and also as summer crop after late paddy or potato in Odisha and in all the seasons in parts of Southern India. Among the factors necessary for successful production of crop, time of sowing can have a major effect on final size of plants and the yield. Optimum sowing time may vary from one variety to another and also from one region to another due to variation of agro-ecological conditions. Yield decreases progressively with the delay in planting from optimum time of sowing. For successful production of crop many factors, such as, quality seed, weed control, proper fertilization, irrigation, method of sowing, optimum sowing time, seed rate, and time of harvest are indispensable. Changes in the growth and development of the sesame (Sesumum indicum L.) plant induced by varying planting dates have not been fully studied.
