Abstract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), a major seed spice crop of India and Rajasthan is valued for seed and leaf, used for flavouring and seasoning of food and food products. A promising coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) genotype WFPS 48-1 has been identified for high yield and essential oil, on the basis of multilocation testing across the coriander growing states and specifically for Zone V of Rajasthan state. It bears white flowers and recorded average yield of 1933 kg/ha with around 11, 19 and 25 percent superiority over the zonal, state and national checks viz., RKD 18, RCr 436 and Hisar Anand, respectively. Its seeds contain higher essential oil content of >0.55% showing an advantage of 6 and 18 percent, respectively over the national checks RCr 728 and Hisar Anand. The genotype WFPS 48-1 could be further used in crop improvement programmes to provide a suitable replacement of the existing varieties to increase coriander production and productivity.
