Sesame
is harvested manually in Turkey. The traditional harvesting system which are
ripped and bound in small bundles by labor and later dry plants are threshing. This
system is being not only increases the cost of sesame, but also leads to a
gradual decrease in planting area of sesame in Turkey. In the Turkey has been
working on complete mechanization of sesame harvesting and threshing. Till now,
the farmers do not prefer to mechanical harvest system because they are
considering that the quality of seed are reduce by cutting the roots at the
harvest.
The
main purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between root
presence and seed quality in sesame. For this purpose, some quality parameters
were compared to the seeds obtained from rooted and without root plants.
It
was carried out randomized complete split plot design, four replicates in
Cukurova Region and for two years under main and second crops conditions. In
the study, 1000 seed weight, fat-protein ration and fatty acid composition were
determined in sesame seeds obtained from plants rooted and without root. As a
result, this study found that root presence has no statistically significant
effect on palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic acid. But, it was determined that
root presence was a significant effect on seed weight (P˂0.05). Despite could
be determined that the growing season (main and second crop conditional) has
statistically significant effect on stearic (p˂0.05) and oleic acids (p˂0.01),
could not be determined this effect on palmitic and linoleic acid.
