PLANTANDO GERGELIM NO SEMI-ÁRIDO: Por Josivaldo

PLANTING SESAME IN THE SEMI-ARID
Sesame is a plant that resists to the drought very well. We plant sesame using manure. We sieve the manure, mix with the sesame seeds and put in the “planting machine”. Then we plant when we are planting the beans. The sesame is very resistant. Even when the weather is dry, it still resists. As you can see, only the sesame and the castor are alive. The two kinds of beans we planted here died.

When harvesting the sesame, you cannot have bundles bigger than these. This is a good size. It cannot lie on the ground like this one. And the place it is here… it is not a good one because it is in contact with the floor. It is better to lay something under the bundles. Otherwise, when you beat on the canvas (or plastic piece), it is mixed with soil.
