The Effect of Microbial Fertilization and Phosphorus Doses on the Chlorophyll Content of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

In this aim of this study was to determine the effect of microbial fertilization and P2O5 doses on the chlorophyll content of sesame(Sesamum indicum L.) leaf by using chlorophyll meter. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) crop was cultived for 113 days under the fieldtypifying semiarid properties localed in Konya plain, Turkey. The clorophyll content of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) leaves wasmeasured between flowering period and harvesting stage. The average time to the first capsule formation was calculated as 45 days inthe the parcels treated with microbial fertilization, while the one treated with $;P_2O_5$ doses was calculated as 47 days. At the end of theexperiment, although microbial fertilizer application increased chlorophyll content in sesame leaves, it was observed that $;P_2O_5$ dosesincreased chlorophyll content with increasing doses. Additionally, it was found that chlorophyll content in sesame leaves fastlyincreased during capsule formation period with microbial fertilization.
