The Effect of Different Phosphorus Doses on Fixed Oil Component and Plant Nutritional Elements of Black Cumin (Nigella sp.)

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the fixed oil components and macro-micro nutrients of black cumin grown at different phosphorus doses. Seed samples were obtained from two different black cumin genotypes grown for two years (in 2017-18 and 2019-20 winter growing seasons) by applying five different phosphorus doses (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 kg da-1 P). According to the research results, increasing phosphorus amount did not show a significant difference in fixed oil components. Unsaturated fatty acid ratio has a much higher ratio than saturated fatty acid ratio. Linoleic acid (58.26%), an unsaturated fatty acid, and palmitic acid (11.84%), a saturated fatty acid, were found to be the highest in black cumin oil. When macro-micro nutrients are examined, it has been observed that the difference in dose and genotype x dose interaction is important. While the macro-micro elements Fe, Ca, P, Zn and Mn increased up to a certain dose, the elements Mg, K, Na, N increased depending on the dose increase, and the highest value was obtained from the 12 kg da-1 P application.
