Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019-20 at Farm of Agronomy Section, College of Agriculture, Latur to find out the influence of different organic manures on growth and yield attributes of sesame. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with nine treatments and replicated three times. The treatments were T₁-Control, T₂-100%N (Urea)_, T₃-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (FYM)_, T₄-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Vermicompost)_, T₅-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Poultry manure), T₆-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Neem cake)_, T₇-75%N(Urea) + 25%N (Karanj cake)_, T₈-75%N (Urea) + 25%N (Castor cake) and T₉-75%N (Urea) + Azotobactor. Results revealed that among the different organic manures applied, the application of 75%N through (Urea) + 25%N through (Poultry manure) (T₅) was found beneficial in increasing growth attributes viz., higher plant height (81.67cm), number of branches plant^-1 (4.2), number of functional leaves (79.93), leaf area (10.68 dm²) and dry matter plant^-1 (37g). The higher values of yield attributes viz., number of capsules plant^-1 (53.80), seed yield plant^-1 (8.95 g), capsule yield plant^-1 (45.21 g), seed yield (516 kg ha^-1) and test weight (3.9 g) were obtained due to 75%N(Urea) + 25%N(Poultry manure) (T₅).
