Extended data:

Sesame originated in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China, and belongs to a warm-loving plant. Its planting area is mainly between 40 N and 40 S. The planting area of sesame in China can reach 45 N, mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, as well as in Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hebei and other provinces.

Sesame is often mixed with dwarf crops because of its erect stems and small shade area.

For example, it is mixed or intercropped with sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans and other crops. Generally, a row of sesame seeds is made in the middle of the ditch between 65438 and 0-2 rows of sweet potatoes or a row of sesame seeds is intercropped with peanuts every 2-4 rows. Sesame is more drought-tolerant and beans are more moisture-tolerant. Mixed cropping of sesame and beans is beneficial to drought and flood control.
