Field experiment was conducted at Burusa agricultural research Centre of Mettu University to investigate the effects of seeding rate and variety on growth, yield and some quality parameters of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.). Five seeding rate (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30kgha-1) and three varieties namely Eden, Dirshaye and Local check were used. Factorial RCBD with three replications is used. Data were collected on growth parameters, seed yield and yield components. The data were subjected to ANOVA for statistical analysis using SAS version-9.2 computer software. The result of the study revealed that, most of crop phenology and growth parameters were significantly affected at p<0.05%. Accordingly, the highest plant for consecutive 30, 60 and 60DAS (18.54cm, local; 38.12cm, local and 46.77, Eden) was recorded as those varieties sawn at seeding rate of 30kgha-1. The maximum mean number of primary branch measured at maturity time as (5.3) where recorded when Eden was sawn at 10kgha-1. The mean earliest days to flower initiation (72.4 days) was recorded for Eden Variety while prolonged days to flower initiation (83.2) was recorded for local variety. Following similar patter, mean earliest days to maturity (142.8days) for Eden and prolonged days to maturity (146.3days) was recoded for local variety. Yield contributing characters like number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, 1000 seed weight, seed yield per plant and seed yield per hectare were maximum when cumin seed variety Eden sawn at seed rate of 10kgha-1. These attributes were found to be minimum for all the three tested varieties sown at seed rate of 30kgha-1. Among various levels of seed rate and three varieties tested, 10kgha-1 by Variety Eden could result in highest seed yield (685kgha-1), though it is below national standard which ranged from 900-1600kgha-1. Variety Eden resulted in maximum number of capsule (62.1) and greater seed yield per plant (4.27g) when sawn at 10kgha-1. Local variety achieved promising result for 1000seed weight (1.94g) which is 47.3% higher than that produced at 30kgha-1 seeding rate (0.46 g) for variety Dirshaye. Again local varieties produced greater amount of essential oil. Based on the results of the experiment, Eden with 10kgha-1 could be used for popularization and need to be subjected to scaling up in the study area.
