Its fruits act irritatingly on taste buds, reflexively increase the function of the digestive apparatus, reduce the processes of decay and fermentation in the intestines. Cultivation. Common cumin is propagated by seeds. Its predecessor can be vegetables and potatoes. Having removed the predecessor, the earth is loosened, and after the mass germination of weeds, they are dug up to a depth of 20-25 cm, at the same time 2-3 kg of manure, 20-30 g of superphosphate and 12-15 g of potassium salt per 1 m2 are applied. In early spring, thorough harrowing is carried out with simultaneous re-applying of mineral fertilizers: 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate, 20-25 g of superphosphate and 6-8 g of potassium salt per 1 m2. Sowing can be done in early spring, autumn or before winter - depending on the growing area. Seeds are sown in holes to a depth of 2-2,5 cm. The distance between rows is 20 cm. Seedlings appear in 8-10 days. After the mass emergence of seedlings, the site is carefully loosened, weeded and thinned out, leaving a distance of 10-15 cm between plants in a row. In the first year of life, the plant forms a basal rosette. At this time, cumin is fed twice with mineral fertilizers - 20-25 days after germination and during the last autumn loosening. The first feeding - 10-14 g of superphosphate, 10 g of potassium salt and 12-15 g of ammonium nitrate per 1 mg; the second - 20-30 g of superphosphate and 12-15 g of potassium salt. But the second year, cumin grows in April. Plant care during this growing season consists in regular loosening of the soil and fertilizing with mineral fertilizers: 10-15 g of superphosphate, 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate and 10 g of potassium salt per 1 m2. During spring top dressing, it is also good to apply organic fertilizers in the form of bird droppings in the amount of 0,5 kg, 0,7-1 kg of raw manure, 0,7-1 kg of slurry per 1 m2, as well as 0,4-4,5 kg of ash.

The stem of cumin is relatively low, from 30 to 80 centimeters, it is branched upwards, with radiant umbrellas of inflorescences at the ends.

Cumin is also sown to clover, otherwise the cows, accidentally picking up one clover, suffer severely from dangerous bursting with gases. Flatulence can even lead to the death of animals. In the wild state, common cumin is abundant in meadows, along forest edges and weedy places. For domestic needs, it is there that they take it in reserve. But for industrial use, when a lot of cumin is needed, this grass is bred on plantations, where it is more tall and portly. In some countries, cumin has been introduced into agricultural culture since the time of pile buildings. Now it is cultivated in Finland, Norway and Holland. It is sown after harvesting winter crops or in spring along with oats, barley and mustard. Seeds germinate in three weeks. When sown in spring, cumin in the first year manages to develop only a rosette of leaves, and only in the second year does it form a stem and bear fruit. Cut the grass when the seeds turn brown in the central umbrellas. This is just the period when the seeds are not yet fully ripe and there is no danger that they will crumble. Cut stems are knitted into sheaves and brought under a canopy. There they are dried, threshed, and the seeds, cleaned on a sieve, are poured into bags and put in a dry place for storage (up to three years). Cumins on earth have up to 30 species. Common cumin (Carum carvi), a valuable essential oil crop, is of economic interest. Author: Strizhev A.N.
