The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of different methods (sprinkling, surface and subsoil drip irrigation) and different soil moisture content (HB) (70-75% HB, 75-80% HB and 80-85% HB) on water consumption and seed yield of sesame plants. The research was conducted in the semi-arid climatic zone of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine. In these studies, the best method of irrigation and the optimal level of soil moisture for sesame plants were established. The seed productivity of sesame and the elements of the yield structure under different methods and soil moisture levels were established, as well as the indicator of water use efficiency was determined.
