Abstract

Two experiments were conducted in the autumn season of 2019-2020 to investigate the impact of two species belonging to the Nigella genus under various fertilization conditions. Both experiments followed the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and were replicated three times at the Qlyasan and Kanipanka location. The results of the average of both locations, it was observed that N. sativa outperformed N. arvensis in terms of seed yield, fixed oil yield and essential oil yield, achieving 607, 138, and 8 kg ha-1, respectively. Notably, when a 2% organic manure application was utilized, higher seed yield, fixed oil yield, and essential oil yield were achieved at 659, 160, and 9 kg ha-1, respectively. The most favorable outcomes of 676 kg ha-1 for seed yield, 174 kg ha-1 for fixed oil yield, and 10 kg ha-1 for essential oil yield were attained through a combination of N. sativa and the application of 2% organic manure fertilization. Comparatively, the Kanipanka location demonstrated greater results than the Qlyasan location, with seed yields of 621 kg ha-1, fixed oil yields of 137 kg ha-1, and essential oil yields of 8 kg ha-1.
