Limited information is available on irrigation practices of black cumin. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation levels on seed yield, fixed oil content, and essential oil content and composition. The experiment was carried out for one crop season. The trial was arranged based on a randomized complete block design, with five treatments and four replications. Seed yield, fixed oil and essential oil contents were significantly affected by the different treatments. It can be concluded that supplying quantities of water below black cumin’s water requirement does not adversely affect its seed yield and oils content.
