Abstract: A research investigation was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (ARS), Mandor (Rajasthan) during rabi season of 2016-17 to study the response of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) to different drip irrigation and fertigation levels. The soil of experimental site was sandy-loam in nature with low in available nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and high in potassium content. Ten treatment combinations comprised three levels of drip irrigation viz., I0.4, I0.6 and I0.8 cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) randomized with three fertigation levels (F60, F80 and F100) and one control (S0.8 F100) were replicated three times in FRBD. The result showed that drip irrigation at 0.6 CPE (I0.6) recorded higher yield characters (nos. of umbels plant-1, umbellets umbel-1, seeds umbellate-1 and test weight) and yield (grain, straw, biological and harvest index), proved significantly superior over surface irrigation at 0.8 CPE (S0.8 F100) and drip irrigation at 0.4 CPE (I0.4). Results further indicated that the application of 80% RDF (F80) through fertigation being at par with 100% RDF (F100) recorded significantly higher yield characters (number of umbels plant-1, umbellets umbel-1, seeds umbellate-1 and test weight) and yield (grain, straw, biological and harvest index) over 60% RDF(F60).
