It grows to a height of 30-45 cm and produces a stem with many branches bearing long, finely divided, deep green leaves and small flowers, white or rose in colour, borne in umbles. In India, cumin is cultivated in almost all states except Assam, Kerala and West Bengal. During cultivation it is infected by various diseases which are described in detail in this chapter.
