Effect of different planting methods in dry and wet planting on cumin yield

Cumin in Khorasan is one of the important plants using in medicine and export to the other countries. Due to this importance, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different planting methods in dry and wet planting on cumin for two years in Mashhad. Split block design in randomized complete block design was used for this study. Horizontal factors were: a) wet planting b)dry planting. Vertical factors were a) drill planting with Barzgar Hamedan seeder b) planting with alfalfa seeder (grass seeder) c) conventional planting (seed broadcasting by hand+ land leveler). The measured parameters were: number of umbrella in plant, number of seed in umbrella, number of seed in plant, 1000 seed weight and yield (Kg/ha). It was concluded that intraction effect of planting methods and wet and dry planting had significant difference on number of seed in plant in 5% probability area. In addition planting methods had significant effect on yield in first year. In second year, planting methods had significant difference on number of seeds in plant and yield .AII means amounts were compared using Duncanʹs multiple range test, it showed that, cumin yield by alfalfa seeder, by drill planting and conventional planting (broadcast seeding) in wet planting was obtained 505.3, 523 and 448.3 Kg/ha in first year and 632, 6349 and 558.67 Kg/ha in second years. Results indicated that drill planting with Barzgar Hamedan seeder had the most promising performance and produced the highest yield.
