“…Manual weeding is time consuming, tedious, labour intensive and costly. Due to this, herbicides are frequently used by farmers in cumin-growing areas as pre-and post-emergence weed control measures [89]. Therefore, there is a need of weeding equipment that can easily remove the weeds with less labour and time.…”

“…Therefore, herbicide becomes popular among farmers for controlling weeds of cumin. The most effective weed control and maximum possible yield of cumin can be achieved by pre-emergence applications of fluchloralin at 0.75kg/ha or pendimethalin at 1.0kg/ha combined with one-hand weeding at 25 DAS [89]. However, Lal et al [56] and Yadav et al [128] suggested that the best integrated weed control strategy for cumin was pre-emergence treatment of oxadiargyl @ 0.075kg/ ha immediately after planting followed by one hand weeding at 45 DAS.…”

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.
