Cuminum cyminum L. is one of the most widely consumed spices worldwide and in Turkey. This spice, whose cultivation sites and volume are continually changing annually, is essential, particularly in dry areas. In this research, nationwide seeds cultivated in India, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkey (Denizli Province) were used. This study was carried out in the production season of 2020-2021 in Bekilli city of Denizli province as a randomized block design with three replications. In this study, plant height (cm), the number of branches per plant (number), the number of umbels per plant (number), the number of umbellates per plant (number), the number of seeds per umbellate (number), the weight of 1000 seeds (grams), the seed yield (kg/da-1), fixed oil ratio (%) and fixed oil yield (%) of cumin plant were determined. The results of the two-year study have been determined as follows: plant height was 24.72 cm, the number of branches was 5.96, the number of umbels was 33.86, the number of umbellate per umbel was 3.63, the number of seeds was per umbellate 4.82, the weight of 1000 seeds was 3.4 g, seed yield was 59.88 kg/da-1, fixed oil ratio was 11.28%, the fixed oil yield was 6.67 kg/da-1. Türkiye (Denizli) population has reached higher values than other populations in terms of yield and quality characteristics.
