Abstract

Cumin usually known as Jeera and scientifically known as Cuminum
cyminum L. is annual and one of the most important spice crop that is more
prone to several diseases among which the aerial diseases cause severe
losses in both yield and quality. Aerial diseases are those diseases which
cause de-formalities in aboveground system of the plant and may include
stem, leaves, flower, seed, fruit etc. The threats of Aerial diseases are
epidemics in crop production, high cost of chemical fungicides and
development of fungicide resistance, climate change, new disease
outbreaks and increasing concerns regarding environmental as well as
soil health are becoming increasingly obvious. These demand the use of
integrated aerial disease management strategies for the crop. This article
summarized the methods for management of aerial diseases in cumin
seed production which included legal methods, resistant cultivars,
sanitation, and cropping system, biological control, soil amendments and
soil fertility and weather parameters, plant nutrients, and chemical control.
Decision support systems developed to predict disease allow choosing
good management methods such as the use of healthy seeds, cultural
practices and biological control agents for each aerial cumin disease. The
complexity in interactions between a pathogen and its host, influenced by
biotic and abiotic factors of the environment, build the control of the
diseases frequently very hard. However, profound awareness of host-
pathogen systems allows constructing integrated pest management
systems enhances the production of good quantity as well as quality seed.
