Abstract
A field experiment observed the effects of different thinning levels and irrigation regimes on black cumin growth, yield and quality. The study was conducted in 2019-2020 at the Spices Research Sub-Centre, BARI, Lalmonirhat, using Randomized Complete Block Design (two-factor). Four thinning levels (T1=1st thinning 25 days after sowing), (T2=2nd thinning 35 days after sowing), (T3=3rd thinning 45 days after sowing), T4=control (no thinning) and three irrigation regimes (I1= vegetative stage + flowering stage), (I2= Vegetative stage + capsule stage), (I3= Vegetative stage + flowering stage + capsule stage) were used as treatment. The results showed that thinning level had a significant effect on plant height (cm) but did not affect yield component, plant population, or quality (thousand grain weight and germination percentage). The combination of second thinning and irrigation regimes (vegetative stage + flowering stage) produced the highest number of branching/plant (5.96), number of capsules/plant (22.38), number of seeds/capsules (75.30), thousand seed weight (3.00g), germination percentage  (92.28%). No thinning and all irrigation regimes produced the highest yield, statistically similar to second thinning and all irrigation regimes (vegetative + flowering stage).
