“…Induced mutation has been widely used in a number of crops and species to generate broad spectrum of genetic variability. Mutation breeding is generally employed when low genetic variability present in a gene pool for particular trait (Fehr, 1993;Verma et al, 2017). Physical and chemical mutagens induce physiological damages, point mutations and chromosomal aberrations in M 1 generation.…”

“…High humidity during the flowering and fruiting stages of the cumin plant, promotes the incidence of diseases like blight and powdery mildew that drastically reduces the yield [18,22,114]. Cloudy weather during flowering and fruiting stages also increases the incidences of insect-pests and diseases that resulting into poor quality produce [124]. Frost is most limiting and dangerous factor for the cumin crop and it is highly susceptible to frost injury during flowering and early fruit setting stage [64].…”

“…The saline soils may be reclaimed through the use of amendments such as mulching, green mannuring, crop rotation and application of lime [42]. Sandy loam and sandy soils having adequate aeration, well drainage and appropriate oxygen availability with good fertility level are preferred for cumin cultivation [22,124]. Mulching, organic manure application and proper nitrogen application may improve soil structure and enhance soil health which can help in increasing productivity [97].…”

“…The management of marginal land problem can be done by adopting techniques such as diversification of crop by crop rotations, mixed and intercropping [75,126]. In intercropping cumin crop can be grown with the other crops in the pattern i.e., Coriander-Cumin, Maize-cumin-summer moong, Coriander-cumingreen gram, cluster bean-cumin and Pearl millet-cumin [124]. Quality of seed can be improved with the application of panchgavya foliar and leaf extracts of plant.…”

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is an important seed spice crop, having good medicinal properties and grown predominately in arid and semi-arid region of the world. India is the leading country with share of 70% in the world production of cumin. Two states of India (Rajasthan and Gujarat) cover nearly 80% of the total area under cumin cultivation. The current scenario and status of area, production and productivity in India has been reviewed to identify the various factors affecting cumin production and productivity. Apart from these major constraints related to climate, soil, agronomical, crop input, extension, marketing and farm mechanization in cumin production and their management are discussed thoroughly. Due to low productivity of cumin there is need to focus on integrated approaches such as utilizing modern technologies, advance agronomic practises, farm mechanization interventions and advanced breeding tools to enhance the cumin production. The study reveals alternative solutions to overcome these problems and evidenced that there is huge scope of farm mechanization to improve the production of cumin crop and reduce drudgery of farmers.

<a name="_Hlk39513249"></a>Raja Bulu is one of the banana varieties favored by the community because of its thick fruit flesh and sweet taste. However, its parthenocarpic characteristic and vegetative propagation make this banana variety has limited genetic variation. Attempt to improve the genetic variation was conducted through induced mutation breeding using gamma-ray mutagens. This research aimed to select M1V1 generation of Raja Bulu banana (Musa paradisiaca Linn.) obtained by gamma rays’ irradiation for their growth traits which are expected to produce banana varieties that have an early maturity and high yield. This study used a randomized complete block design without replication by observing the generative growth of each individual of Raja Bulu banana irradiated by gamma rays and without radiation as a control. The results showed that gamma-ray irradiation treatment caused Raja Bulu banana to be harvested earlier and produced higher fruit weight than controls. The gamma-ray irradiation had a random influence on Raja Bulu bananas. The 10 Gy gamma-ray irradiation dosage influenced the morphological diversity in the generative phase of Raja Bulu banana. The treatment of gamma irradiation resulted in 5 individual plants that flowered and matured earlier as compared to controls.
