So I bought a bag of Sesame from Hancock and have never grown it before. I remember that somebody on here grew a crop last year; any tips on how to grow it? I don't have a working planter, so all I can do is broadcast it. Will it outcompete the weeds like browntop does, or do I need to use a pre herbicide?

I would not think that it needs to be covered much, but do I want a firm seedbed? There were some reviews on Hancock that said it didn't come up. I suspect they planted too deep. Any ideas appreciated.

Are you going to flood it? If so I'd just top sow on the mud.

No, just planting it as part of a dove field. I'm gonna give my uncle most of the bag, as he has a much better dove area than I do, but I thought I'd plant a acre or so.

If the Sesame seeds are like the ones we're all familiar with, definitely top sow, those seeds are tiny.

I actually talked farmer buddy of mine about this last week mr. Steve. He said he scorches the earth first, and also uses a post emergent. Says the weeds will take over. I’ll try to find out what he sprays if you want.

Yes, please ask him. We don't know what herbicides sesame will tolerate.

Thanks! Is he applying it as a pre or post, or both? Can you ask him what rate he is using? The field I am gonna plant it in has johnsongrass and sicklepod in abundance. Browntop will get ahead of them and make a crop anyway, but I think I will have to use herbicide to make a sesame crop. Just looking, I'm not finding any information on sesame herbicides. If your friend wouldn't mind talking to me, I would sure like to call him.

I tried a bag of sesame year before last on my dove field. Gly the field about 10 days before planting and broadcast the seed. I planted mine in rows and thought I would never get over 2 inches tall but it finally took off. The seeds really didn’t mature until like late October. I left it standing because it was too late by them to really do any good. I will just stick to strips of millet from now on. I will note this was planted on really good dirt that had fertilizer put on it before planting maybe it was just old seed but it was slow to mature I do know that.

Same thing happened to me a few years back. Matured late and hard to get seed out of the hull. Plant early.

So when did y'all plant to have it mature so late? I've read it takes 120 days, and soil temp needs to be over 70. I guess I will try it first of May and see how it does. Though if it will stand until the late season that could be a good thing. I can always "plant" wheat for the early season, and I was also gonna plant some millet. Thanks for all the ideas!

Planted mine first week of may with high hopes lol could not believe how slow they started and I seemed like forever before they started to head out. I’m going to do a few strips of sunflowers again using the broadcast method I used last year with good results. Broadcast was so much easier and actually turned out better for dove feed than when I planted them with a planter.

Was first week of may a good time to develop mature seed for the opener? If not earlier or later planting date?

Don’t remember the planting date on the sesame. Dropped it from the lineup.

Browntop and dove proso millet seem to do much better for us.

Good luck with it.

I helped my uncle plant his field Wednesday. It is new ground that had been in mature pine timber, so we had to farm over and around the stumps. We used an all purpose plow that has 9 shanks and it got the ground into fairly decent shape. We just broadcast the seed and fertilizer, starting with a strip of Egyptian wheat on each edge and another down the middle. Then we put an acre of sesame and an acre of millet in between the strips. He has a good 3 pt hitch cultipacker, and it did a good job of leveling the field and covering the seed as the final step. All we need now is rain.

I bought a jug of diuron, but his sprayer wasn't working and since it is new ground we are hopeful that the weeds won't be too bad this first year. I am planning a similar field on my place next week and will spray the diuron as a pre on the sesame. If the sesame doesn't do well, we can always plow it under and put browntop on it the first of July.

The fields look pretty good 5 weeks after planting. The field my uncle and I planted has gotten several good rains and is doing really well. The other field I planted had some soil moisture when I planted, so some came up and some didn't. Then it went 3 weeks without a drop of rain and after that got several inches in one day. The diuron requires rain to activate, so I didn't get good weed control. Now we are back to drought, with no rain in sight.

It still oughta make some dove food if it will ever rain.
