How long is the growth cycle of cumin?

Introduction to Cumin Growth

Cumin is not very demanding on soil, but prefers soil with good drainage. It is native to Egypt and Ethiopia, and is cultivated in Xinjiang, China.

Cumin growth cycle

Cumin is drought-resistant but afraid of waterlogging. It is suitable for planting in sandy loam or loam with deep, loose, loose soil rich in organic matter. Wheat, corn, tomatoes, and cotton can be planted as the previous crop, but sesame and melons cannot be planted.

The growth cycle of cumin is about 90 days.

Cumin growth rate

Cumin has a short growing period. It can be harvested when its needles turn yellow, the stems turn white, and the fruits are full. When harvesting, you can pull up the roots, tie them into small bundles, and place them in the sun for 1-2 days. When they are 80% dry, they can be threshed and harvested.

Cumin grows very fast. If sown in March or April, it will mature and be harvested in mid-July.

Cumin Growth Cycle Management

The yield of cumin is affected by planting technology and planting site, but the general yield is about 60 kilograms per mu.

Temperature management: Cumin likes a warm environment and has a certain degree of cold resistance. The most suitable temperature for seed germination is 25 degrees.

Fertilization management: When renovating the soil in the early stage, you can apply enough base fertilizer, mainly high-quality farmyard manure. After sowing, you should apply topdressing in time to increase the yield of the plants. In May, you can apply ammonium nitrate in combination with watering. After flowering, spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate and boron fertilizer on the leaves.
