Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Performance of different coriander varieties for seed yield” was carried out during rabi season of the year 2013 at the College of Horticulture, Akola. The study consisted of eight coriander varieties using randomized block design and each treatment was replicated thrice. The varieties viz., Hissar Sugandh, Pant Haritima, Sadhana, Swati, CO 4, Hissar Anand, CO 2 and Rajendra Swathi were studied under investigation. The results revealed that variety Pant Haritima was found superior in seed yield (13.33 q/ha) but required more number of days for seed harvesting (131d). The yield contributing parameters like days required for seed harvesting, plant height; leaf area (73.9), number of umbels (20.5), number of umbellate (5.7), number of seed (30.4) and test weight (12.23 g) were observed with maximum numerical values in variety Pant Haritima, than rest of the varieties under study. Amongst the eight coriander varieties, Pant Haritima performed better in almost all the characters. Hence, this variety can be included in further breeding programme for improving the seed yield.
