The Effect of Different Sowing Dates on the Essential Oil Content and Components of Common Black Cumin (Nigella sativa L.) and Damascus Black Cumin (Nigella damascena L.)
Öz
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the essential oil content and composition of common black cumin and Damascus black cumin (Nigella damascena L.) species grown in different sowing dates under Eastern Anatolian ecological conditions, Muş, Türkiye.
Materials and Methods: Seeds of N. sativa cv. Çameli was obtained from the Eskişehir Transitional Zone Agricultural Research Institute Directorate. Seeds of N. damascena were obtained from the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Çukurova University. The field experiment was conducted at the Research and Application Field of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Muş Alparslan University during the 2022 growing season. The experiment followed a split-plot design with three replications, including two species, and four sowing dates.
Results: The essential oil content ranged from 0.18% to 0.54%. Values were similar across the first three sowing dates but decreased markedly at the fourth sowing. Essential oil content was higher in common black cumin compared to Damascus black cumin. Major essential oil of components of common black cumin were 1,3-cyclopentadiene (56.73–71.59%), α-thujene (11.92–18.95%), longifolene (4.29–6.41%), terpinen-4-ol (2.46–5.22%), and β-pinene (2.35–6.40%). In Damascus black cumin β-elemene (49.01–59.24%) and α-selinene (18.56–35.41%) were identified as the dominant constituents.
Conclusion: Essential oil content in of common black cumin decreased with delayed sowing while the highest essential oil content N. damascena obteined at the third sowing date (May 25), followed by a sharp decline. The major component 1,3-cyclopentadiene in common black cumin reached its maximum at the first sowing date (April 25), whereas in Damascus black cumin the major component β-elemene was highest at the third sowing date (May 25).
