What is the irrigation requirement for Sesame Farming?

 Irrigate the field when sowing to keep enough moisture for good germination. Depending upon the soil type and climatic condition, provide life irrigation @ 7 days after sowing. There are 3 critical stages of watering in sesame farming, first one at pre-flowering stage (22-25 days after sowing), second one at flowering stage (35 to 45 days after sowing) & 1 (or) 2 irrigations at pod setting stage. During the seed maturity stage, maintain low moisture status because seed maturity is affected and filling up of the capsules would be poor. Hence, stop watering after 65 to 70 days of sowing.
