I1: 7-day;
I2: 14-day;
I3: 21-day), four plant-pan coefficients (
Kcp1: 0.60;
Kcp2: 0.80;
Kcp3: 1.00 and
Kcp4: 1.20). The first irrigation was carried out when the available water was at 40% level in the 90 cm of the soil profile. The results revealed significant linear

Irrigation interval-irrigation amount interaction was significant for the number of sound capsule per plant. The highest number of sound capsule was obtained from
Kcp3 treatment at
I1 irrigation interval. Therefore, sesame yield increased by increasing the capsule number.
