Abstract :

The method of reducing fertilizer requirement for a crop is to develop an appropriate management practices. Two investigations were carried out in the farmer’s field of cuddalore during 2009–12 by the industrial wastes like lignite flyash, pressmud an agro industrial by product with the objective of reducing the fertilizer need in irrigated sesame. This study revealed that Lignite flyash @ 2.5t ha⁻¹ with pressmud exerted a remarkable influence on all the yield attributes. It significantly recorded the highest value of plant height (35cm), No. of capsules per plant (65) No. of seeds per capsule (53) and seed yield (1100kg ha⁻¹ ). With regard to sole application of lignite flyash, LFA @ 2.5 t ha⁻¹ registered significantly the highest values in plant height (31cm), No. of capsules per plant (57) No. of seeds per capsule (50 and seed yield (990kg ha⁻¹) for both the seasons and when the levels are increased the result on growth and yield parameters were showing declined values
