The topdressing method for summer sesame can refer to the following:
The flowering and capsule-setting stage is the period of most vigorous growth for sesame and also the peak period of fertilizer demand, when about 70% of the total nutrient uptake occurs, so additional flower fertilizer must be applied. Practice has proven that topdressing with flower fertilizer can increase yield by more than 30%. The topdressing method is soil application of sesame-specific fertilizer and foliar spraying of phosphorus, potassium and boron fertilizers. At the early flowering stage when buds appear, apply 15-20 kg of sesame fertilizer per mu as topdressing, and at the same time, spray the leaves with a mixture of 0.4% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.2% borax, once every 5-7 days, for 2 consecutive sprays.
