What are the effects and benefits of timely topping of sesame?

(Agricultural Wealth Network) "Sesame flowers bloom ever higher, node by node" is a manifestation of apical growth dominance. In summer and autumn sesame, this dominance can make the plant taller, longer, and produce more capsules in the early stage; in the later stage, as low temperatures arrive, the dominance becomes a disadvantage. When the minimum temperature is below 18°C, the flowers opened by sesame are invalid flowers, but it still grows under apical dominance, consuming nutrients. Topping at this time can reduce invalid consumption, concentrate nutrients into capsules and seeds, and increase the thousand-grain weight. Generally, topping can increase yield by more than 10%.
