Abstract
Solar radiations are among the most important
abiotic factors for agricultural Production. Light plays a vital role through
its direct effects on morphology, biomass as well as yield produced by plants.
The present study was analyzed to assess the effect of three different light
intensities on the growth performance and reproductive attributes of two
varieties of Sesame viz. GT-10 and JTS-8. Comparative performance was studied with respect to
plant height, branch number / plant, leaf number / plant, shoot /
root ratio, and leaf area, dry weight of plant, RGR, NAR, LAR, SLA, LWR,
and number of seeds per plant. Plant height leaf area and increased
significantly under shading. The dry matter accumulation was maximum in full
sun light which diminished with shading. Comparatively JTS-8 appeared better in
growth performance and GT-10 in yield under different light conditions.
