Effect of three types of compost on agromorphological parameters of field-grown sesame
Abstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the world’s most important oilseed crops. It is highly valued for its food and therapeutic uses. In order to promote the fertilization method(s) that can improve sesame productivity, a trial was conducted in Saaba, in the central region of Burkina Faso. The trial involved a completely randomized block design consisting of three blocks and four treatments for each block. These treatments were T0: control; T1: Plant t treated with cow dung-based compost; T2: Plant treated with straw, ash and manure-based compost; T3: Plant treated with rice husk-based bokashi compost. The number of leaves per plant, plant height, collar diameter, number of branches, number of capsules per plant, dry weight of capsules per plant, dry weight of grains per plant, dry weight of above-ground and below-ground biomass were measured. The results show that some growth parameters and plant yield were significantly influenced by the treatments at the 5% threshold. The grain yields per plant were 10.8g, 7.14g, 6.55g and 3.13g depending on the treatment. The anaerobic straw, manure and ash compost (T2) performed best compared to the rice husk bokashi (T3) and cow dung compost (T1).
