Abstract:

To identify the optimal tillage method for sesame production, the variety Luozhi 22 was used as the test material, and four different tillage treatments were established to compare the leaf area index and plant height of sesame at different growth stages, as well as the agronomic traits, yield, and economic benefits at maturity. The results showed that compared with the control (CK), both T2 and T3 treatments increased sesame yield and economic benefits. Among them, the T2 treatment achieved the highest yield, which was 15.31% higher than that of CK, and the highest net income, which increased by 8.09% compared with CK. The T3 treatment ranked second, with a yield increase of 9.60% and a net income of 30 366 yuan·hm-2, representing a 7.34% increase compared with CK. This study provides a theoretical basis for selecting appropriate tillage methods in sesame cultivation.
