Mechanism involved is still not clear. In order to investigate the effect of different irrigation intervals and anti-transpirants compoundson yield and yield components of Black Cumin (Nigella sativa), an experiment was conducted at Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, in 2013. A split-plot layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Irrigation intervals (8, and 16 days) were allocated to main plots and anti-transpirants compounds chitosan (0, 0/25, 0/5, 1percent) and plantago mago rmucilage(0,0/5,1,1/5 percent) and gam arabic (0,0/25,0/5,0/75 percent) allocated to sub plots. Results showed that irrigation intervals had significant effects on all of the characteristics with the exception of 1000 seed weight. The 8 days irrigation interval produced more grain yield compared with 16 days irrigation intervals (621/56 vs. 484/23kg/ha). The greatest grain yield(760 kg/ha)and Lowest(419 kg/ha)Respectively at Treatment anti-transpirants compound chitosan1 percentWith8 days irrigation interval and gam arabic 0/25 percent was obtained with16 days irrigation interval. It seems that due to the lack of water in the area, anti-transpirants compound chitosan1 percentwith 8 days irrigation interval is the best combination for Black Cumin grain production in Mashhad.
