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	16.0a	32.0a	0.7a	1.3a
T2	17.0a	32.0a	0.7a	1.2a
T3	13.0a	30.0a	0.5a	1.3a

T9	12.0a	28.0a	0.5a	1.1a
LSD	5.0	11.0	0.3	0.5

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).
