The Effect Of M？crob？al Fert？l？zat？on And Phosphorus Doses On The Chlorophyll Content Of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

In this study, the effect of microbial fertilization and P2O5 doses on the chlorophyll content of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) leaf was determined by using chlorophyll meter. The research was conducted during sesame vegetation period in 2018 under Konya ecological conditions located in the central part of Turkey showing semiarid property. The sesame leaf chlorophyll content values were measured between the periods of flowering to harvest during the growing period of sesame. In this study, the vegetation period of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was determined as 113 days. The average time to the first capsule formation was calculated as 45 days in the parcels with microbial fertilization and 47 days in the other parcels. At the end of the experiment, it was determined that microbial fertilizer application and increasing P2O5 amounts in the soil increased the chlorophyll content in the sesame. During microbial fertilization capsule formation period, it was found that the chlorophyll content of sesame leaves increases faster
