Popis: Relation between crop growth parameters of sesame (Sesamum indicum) and the physical environment within the crop canopy at different sowing dates was studied during the summer seasons of 1999 and 2000. The maximum leaf growth rate (LGR) and leaf area index (LAI) was obtained from February 19 sown crop. About 34.4% variation in LGR could be explained through the variation in the physical environmental elements within the crop canopy. The LAI was depressed in the later months of sowing. The February 19 sown crop produced significantly, the highest dry matter production (DMP) in all the stages of crop growth. The regression model indicated that the crop growth rate (CGR) was adversely affected by the ambient temperature and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) within the crop canopy. Crops sown on 19 February and 1 March produced statistically similar yields. The cultivar Rama produced higher yields than B-67 and Kanke-1. Regression models suggested that the temperature profile and PAR within the crop canop...
