Changes in morpho-physiological and yield attributes of Sesamum indicum under waterlogging at different growth stages

To understand the responsive nature to excess water, a pot experiment was conducted at different growth stages of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4). The waterlogging stress each stage set three durations, viz. 2, 4, and 6 days. Twelve treatment combinations were replicated times arranged in completely randomized design. Different morpho-physiological yield parameters measured after completion longest duration (6 days). data revealed that is vulnerable water conditions, sensitivity positively correlated with duration. Plant biomass, leaf area, SPAD value, attributes recorded are observed be declined increment Another important finding among sesame, reproductive most sensitive stage, which hardly withstands waterlogging. vegetative affect minimally.
