This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinetin hormone application on sesame. In this plan, Dashtestan II, Yekta, Halil, Oltan and Darab14 cultivars were planting in mid-July 2015. Kinetin hormone was applied as foliar application 30 days after planting. The results showed that Dashtestan and Halil cultivars were taller than other cultivars during simultaneous spraying kinetin hormone. It was also concluded that the number of leaves on Oltan cultivar was more than other ones during simultaneous spraying kinetin hormone and the leaves of other cultivars was reduced due to simultaneous spraying of kinetin. The results of sesame yield showed that the grain yield in sesame cultivars was not significant changes in kinetin foliar application treatment. But grain yield between cultivars with 0.01% signification levels were different. According to the mean comparison analysis the Dashtestan II and Yekta cultivars by 2.2 and 2.1 t/ha had the highest seed yield respectively. There was also a significant difference in the final height of the plants between kinetin applied and not control plots. Also results showed that there was no significant difference between stem diameter, leaf area index, number of pods per plant, grain yield and harvest index.
