Field experiments were conducted during the late cropping seasons of 1990-1992 at Badeggi, Nigeria, to determine the expression of some shoot characteristics of sesame as influenced by row spacing, N and P application. Our results indicated that in 1990, the increase in inter row spacing significantly reduced height to first capsule and branch, and number of branches per plant. Intra-row spacing significantly reduced height to first capsule when increased from 5 to 15 cm in 1990, and increased number of branches per plant in 1991 with 15 cm recording the highest value (3.4). Number of branches per plant significantly increased with N application compared with the control in both years. P application at 30 and 60 kg P2O5/ha significantly increased sesame height at maturity compared with the control in both years and height to first capsule in 1991. Inter-row spacing of 60 cm recorded the highest grain yield of 315.10 and 90.1 kg/ha in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
