What is the appropriate planting density for sesame planting (thinning distance)?

Sesame planting spacing

The row spacing for sesame planting is mostly around 26 cm , and the plant spacing is generally around 13-16 cm . The planting spacing also varies depending on the sesame variety.

If it is a single-stalk sesame variety, the row spacing is generally about 26 cm, and the plant spacing is about 13-16 cm. If it is a branched sesame variety, the row spacing is generally about 33 cm, and the plant spacing is about 22-24 cm.

Sesame yield per mu

Sesame is a warm-loving crop. Usually July is the time for sesame planting. It can mature in 85 to 95 days. Generally, sesame can produce 80 to 100 kilograms.

Sesame can also be divided into two types: white sesame and black sesame. Generally speaking, the yield of black sesame is higher than that of white sesame. White sesame can generally produce about 80 kilograms and a maximum of about 100 kilograms. Black sesame can generally produce about 100 kilograms per mu.

Sesame harvest time

The harvest time of sesame can be divided according to different varieties. For example, spring sesame is generally mature in mid-to-late August and then harvested. Summer sesame is generally mature in early September and then harvested. Autumn sesame is mature in late September. Harvesting should be done early or late to avoid the high temperature at noon.
