Effect of treatments on the number and weight of fruits, at two-week intervals (University of Ghana farm).

Treatment	Number of fruits WK 1	Number of fruits WK 2	Weight of fruits (kg/ha) WK 1	Weight of fruits (kg/ha) WK 2
T1	15.0ab	34.0a	0.6a	1.2a
T2	14.0ab	28.0a	0.5a	0.9a
T3	13.0ab	33.0a	0.5a	1.0a
T4	17.0ab	33.0a	0.7a	1.1a
T5	13.0ab	28.0a	0.5a	0.9a
T6	12.0a	35.0a	0.4a	1.1a
T7	12.0a	30.0a	0.5a	1.0a
T8	17.0ab	27.0a	0.6a	0.9a
T9	20.0b	33.0a	0.7a	1.2a
LSD	6.0	12.0	0.3	0.5
Grand mean	14.0	31.0	0.6	1.0

Means followed by the same letters in a column are not significantly different at LSD (). T1 = sesame at 40% as seed coating for 30 min prior to sowing; T2 = sesame at 40% as drenching two weeks after germination; T3 = neem at 50% as seed coating for 30 min prior to sowing; T4 = neem at 50% as drenching two weeks after germination; T5 = citrus at 100% as seed coating for 30 min prior to sowing; T6 = citrus at 100% as drenching two weeks after germination; T7 = velum (check) at 3.8 ml/1L as seed coating for 30 min prior to sowing; T8 = velum (check) at 9.8 ml/15L of water as drenching two weeks after germination; T9 = control (no application).
