EFFECT OF WATER LOGGING ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS, FV/FM, STOMATAL CONDUCTANCE, TRANSPIRATION, WATER USE EFFICIENCY AND YIELD OF SESAME GENOTYPES (Pages : 14 - 16)

Water logging is an environmental factor that reduces gas exchange between plant tissues and the atmosphere and limits plant growth and yield. A pot experiment was conducted with eight sesame genotypes viz. SM1, SM4, SM7, SM9, SM25, SM26, Kristotil and Binatil-2 during March to June 2021 to observe the effect of water logging on photosynthesis and its related parameters and yield of sesame genotypes. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Three waterlogged treatments viz. Control, 48 and 60 hours were imposed at flowering stage of the sesame genotypes. Photosynthesis, Fv/Fm, stomatal conductance, transpiration, water use efficiency andseed yield plant-1 were significantly decreased with increasing water logging periods. However, the genotypes responded differently on those plant parameters. SM26, SM25, SM4 and Kristotil showed better performance under water logging.Download
