Agronomic Characteristics and Yield Values of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Cultivars at Various Sowing Dates

In this study, ten different sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivars registered in Türkiye were investigated for their sowing dates as a second crop in the lowlands of Mardin province, in 2018 and 2019. In this study, ten different sesame cultivars were used; these were Arslanbey, Boydak, Cumhuriyet-99, Hatipoğlu, Muganlı-57, Orhangazi-99, Osmanlı-99, Sarısu, Tan-99, and Tanas. Four different sowing dates (June 5, June 15, June 25, and July 4) were examined for these cultivars. In this study, agricultural parameters such as plant height, number of lateral branches, number of capsules, seed yield, oil ratio, and oil yield of the sesame cultivars were investigated. Different sowing dates were found to have a significant effect on the sesame cultivars. The second sowing date resulted in the highest plant height, number of branches, number of capsules, seed yield, oil content, and oil yield (June 15). In terms of cultivars, the Boydak and Sarısu had the highest seed yield (2184 and 2149 kg ha-1, respectively), the Osmanlı-99 (54.6%) had the highest oil ratio, and the Sarısu and Boydak had the highest oil yield (1075 and 1062 kg ha-1, respectively). The Boydak and Sarısu cultivars are promising for high seed and oil yields in the second crop sowing, and a sowing date of June 15 is advised.
