Study of Behavior of Sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.) to Relative Turgidity, Diffusion Pressure Deficit and Transpiration Intensity under Arid Conditions of Western Rajasthan

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2008 and 2009 (from august to october) to investigatethe behavior of crop plant Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to RT (Relative turgidity), DPD (Diffusion pressuredeficit) and TI (Transpiration intensity). The plant species (Sesamum indicum L.) investigated has been found tobehave differentially with respect to relative turgidity, Diffusion pressure deficit and Transpiration intensityduring different hours of day and at different stages Viz. Vegetative, flowering and capsule stage
