Introduction

Caraway(Carum carvi L.) is grownon 30 hectars of land in Finland withalevel of seed (botanically fruit) production corresponding

toapproximately 40 %of the self-sufficiency (Hälvä 1985). There is growing interest in increased cultivation of carawayas analter-

nativeto thepresent over-production ofmost traditional agricultural crops. Caraway grows wildasfar north as in Finnish Lapland.

Atpresentthe seedsaremostly sold without variety names. Winter-hardy varieties with JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURALSCIENCEIN FINLAND

high oilcontents and larger yieldsare needed toenable large-scale carawayseedproduction.

Previous studies on caraway cultivation in Finlandwerecarriedoutalmost40 years ago (Vaarama 1947) and basic research was therefore necessaryto illuminatethepresent situation.

Certain caraway varieties and cultivarswere grown bothin Finland and in West Germany as part ofaHerb Plant Research Project of the Finnish Academy of Sciences (1983

1985).

Materials and methods

Caraway was grown during 1983—84 in Freising, West Germany(48°24') andatthree locations in Finland: Helsinki (60° 14'), Saha- lahti (61°28') and Inari (69°04'). The cultivar grown was ‘CarawayF Sv. The purpose of the studywas to test the effect of latitudeon the volatile oils of caraway seeds (location test).

Inaddition, differentvarietiesand cultivars weretested in Helsinki in 1983—85. The four cultivars grownwere ‘Hungarian’, a common typein Hungary, ‘Kami’ LD from Denmark and ‘Caraway I and IF Sv from Sweden. The twoSwedish varietieswere obviously of the sameorigin. Annual caraway(Carum carvi f.

annua) was also grown in one year but the seeds didnotripen by the end of the growing season and thus were not included in the study.

The trials for the locationtestsweresetupin beds filled witha peat layer of 20 centimeters.

ateach location. The control samplewasalso grown in mineral soil in Freising. The size of the plotswas 1.8

m 2 and

the experimentswere carried out with three replicates.

The field tests for variety testingwere set up according to the method of randomized blocks, with plots of 10

m 2 on

mineral soils.

The seedswere sownat adensity of 10 kg/ha.

Therowspecings were 12.5 centimeters (trials I and III) or 25 centimeters (trial II).

Carawaywas cultivated using general farm-

ing practices andharvestedatthe end of the second growingseason exceptatthe northern- most location where the cropwas harvested onthe third year after sowing. In Helsinkione experiment (II)was continued for three years and thus harvested twice. The dataon field trialswas statistically analysed by the analy- sis of variance and themeans wereseparated by Tukey’s test (Steel and Torrie 1980).

After the harvest the seeds were dried and thecontent and composition ofthe oilswere analysed.

Total volatile oilwasassayed bysteam dis- tillation (Williams 1984). Approximately 100 grams of caraway seeds were ground rapidly in a Bamix spice mill and 25 grams of the ground seeds were steam distilled for four hours. After distillation the amountof the oil was measured from the scale of the side tube of the distillationapparatustoanaccuracy of 0.01 ml. The results wereexpressed in ml/100 g. Oilswerediluted withpentanefor gas chro- matographic determinations and the samples weresealed in vials under nitrogen. The most important volatile compounds of caraway seeds, limoneneandcarvone,weredetermined by gas chromatography (Micromat 412) using afused silica capillarycolumn (i.d. 0.3 mm, length 25 cm) coated with ov-351. The tem- perature was programmed from 60°C to 220°C at 6°C/min.

Results and discussion Seed yield

The caraway seeds germinated in 19—43 days. Therosettesreachedaheight of 37—41 centimeters during the first growingseasonin the south and approximately 10 centimeters in the north. Larvae ofDepressaria daucella wereobserved in the caraway florescences in the second growingseason and by the end of seed ripening also Erysiphe heraclei-disease was found. Both these species have previous- ly been reportedtoharm carawaycultivations, the former also in Finland (Vappula 1962,

Ondrej 1983).

At the time of harvesting the vegetation had a height of77 —91 centimeters and none of the cultivars showed particular tendencytobe flattened down. The vegetation of the cultivar

‘Hungarian’ was highest.

The average yield of caraway seeds was 3200 kg/ha at the first harvest. In the fol- lowing year,however,the yieldwasonly 25 % of the figure (Fig. 1). The yieldwas smallest

in the trial with the widerrow specing (25 cm).

The ‘Hungarian’ cultivar had largest yield, the difference being significant (p<0.05) in all trialsexcept one. The yields wereat least equal to themeanfigures reported by Rautavaara et ai 1953, Anon 1980 and Hälvä 1985.

The growth period for caraway ranged from 405to 442 days (Table 1), that of the cultivar

‘Hungarian’ being shortest, approximately

oneweek shorter than for the Scandinavian cultivars. The vegetative growth was slow in the north: the seeds didnotripen fully until the end of the third growing season.

Volatile oils

In the locationtest the content of volatile oils in the caraway seeds ranged from 5.45 to 7.59 ml/100 g (Table 2). There were no sig- nificant differences in the total volatile oilsor carvone contents in the seeds grown at dif- ferent locations. The oilcontent of caraway seeds grownin peat was higher than that of seeds grown in mineral soil.

In the varietytestthe totalamountof vola- tile oils ranged between 4.22 and 6.98 ml/100 g (Table 3). No significant differences were recorded between the varieties. The propor- tion ofcarvonevaried in all samples between 48 and 56 %. The amounts of compounds present in smallquantities, suchasa-pinene, /3-pinene, myrcene, p-symene,carveoland di- hydro carveol, were approximately equal in

the different samples. The figure of carvone contentis rather lower than themeanof 50—

76 % quoted in the literature (Osvald 1959, Furia and Bellanca 1975), but in better agreement withan earlier study by Kuusi et ai (1981). AccordingtoKuusi etai (1981), the volatile oil content in caraway seeds grown wild in Finland is higher (6.71 —8.03 ml/100 g) than that in the seeds of certain varieties.

Thecarvone content wasslightly higher in the seeds of the variety ‘Hungarian’ than in the seeds of the othervarieties. The caraway seeds grown in Inaricontainedmoreoil than the seeds grownatthe other locations (Table 2). The results in the variety test maypartly be affected by the fact that the seedswerenot fully ripe at the time of harvest. The weather factors may also have hadaneffectonthe oil.

Accordingtothe results of this study there existsaneed for breeding of carawayto pro- duce specific varieties with abundant seed yields and improved volatile oil contents.
