Description:

Cuminum cyminum L. is a slender, rather pretty annual growing to a height of 1 ft. or less and bearing very finely divided leaves. The aromatic, dried ripe fruits (seeds) are of elongated, oval shape, about 5 to 6 mm long, and light brown in color.

Range & Habitat:

Probably a native to Turkestan or Upper Egypt, cumin has been grown in Mediterranean countries for so long that its origin is difficult to trace.

Primary cultivation of cumin is in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa with India and Iran as the largest cumin exporters

Planting & Cultivation:

Cumin plant thrives best on a well-drained, rich, sandy loam in regions where temperatures are mild and equable during the growing season of three or four months. The crop can be grown from seed. In the Middle East, cumin is grown as a winter crop, sown and harvested between April and May. Plant the seeds in a sunny location after the soil has become warm in spring. If the rows are 2 feet apart, with 16 to 20 seeds to the foot, no thinning will be necessary.

The reported life zone of cumin is 9 to 26 ºC with an annual precipitation of 0.3 to 2.7 meters and a soil pH of 4.5 to 8.3.

Complete control of weeds is necessary, because the plant small and tender. For that reason, planting of the seed in rows spaced to permit a maximum use of cultivators would seem preferable in regions where hand labor is costly.

Harvesting and Preparing for the Market:

The crop is ready for harvest when the plants wither and the seed loses its dark green color. In the Mediterranean region the plant are cut by hand, since the small tender plants are difficult to harvest mechanically, allowed to dry, and the seed beaten out with sticks, after which it is further dried and then cleaned of earth and other extraneous matter.

Yield of seed per Acre:

Yield of cumin seed is reported to range from 100 to 1000 lb per acre, with 500 lb a fair average production under reasonably good conditions.
