TS-5 White Sesame (Till) Hybrid Seed: Premium Amritsar Seeds
TS-5 Sesame (Till) is a premium white-seeded sesame variety developed and distributed by Amritsar Seed Corporation. High in oil content and respected for its drought tolerance and resistance to root rot complex, TS-5 is a preferred oilseed crop for farmers in Punjab and Sindh during the kharif season.
Agronomic Strengths and Market Value
TS-5 produces highly attractive, bright white sesame seeds which fetch premium prices in both local markets and export channels. The plants are characterized by a strong root system, branching habit, and heavy capsule bearing. Its high oil yield (up to 50%) makes it highly sought after by local oil extraction industries.
Best Cultivation Practices
Sesame grows best in well-drained sandy loam soil. Prepare the soil to a fine tilth. Sowing should be done in June-July when the temperature is warm. Since sesame seeds are very small, mixing them with dry sand ensures even distribution. Avoid irrigating during hot afternoons and ensure no water stands in the field for more than a few hours.
