Abstract
In recent years black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) has been attracting increasing attention of scientists due to its medicinal and aromatic properties, as well as its decorative value. Modest agrotechnical requirements, resistance to diseases and pests and multiple uses make this species potentially profitable for introduction into agricultural production. The aim of this research is to present the taxonomic affiliation, morphological properties, use value and technology of black cumin cultivation. The genus Nigella is a small genus within the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae Juss.), whereas representatives of the genus are annual species of short vegetation distributed in Eurasia, North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The most famous representative of the genus is black cumin (Nigella sativa L.), which is commercially grown in Turkey, India, Pakistan and Jordan due to its medicinal properties. The use of seeds and oil is growing in Europe, but there is no commercial production due to insufficiently researched growing conditions. In the climatic conditions of northwestern Croatia, satisfactory seed yields were achieved by spring sowing and nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization, which opens the possibility for commercial cultivation of this species, but additional research is needed in order to accurately define cultivation technology in our area.
