               Experiment Detail
The seeds of N. sativa were collected in summer 1996 from Ghazvin. Seeds cultivated at the research station of Karaje, and field work was designed according to a split plot design where plants were exposed to water stress by withholding regular irrigations over 4(T1), 8(T2), 12(T3) and 16(T4) day period and 760 m3 ha-1. Water was only received by the plants during time of irrigation. After ripening of fruit, seeds were collected and their oils were isolated

               Factor Function
Water stress was effective on content of essential oil. Thymoquinone that is one important medical compound in this plant, was 57.78% in irrigation over 12 days.
