Abstract
Globally coriander seed production holds significant importance
extending beyond its culinary uses as a key spice in various cuisines. A field
experiment was conducted at PG Research Block, Raichur, during rabi 2023-24 to
study the effect of foliage cutting and foliar spray of plant growth regulators
and biostimulants on coriander seed quality. The experiment was laid out in a
two-factorial RCBD design with three cuttings as a first factor (no cut, one
cut at 45 DAS, one cut at 60 DAS) and five foliar spray as a second factor (GA3,
NAA, CCC, microbial consortia and humic acid). The results showed that, one cut
at 45 DAS with foliar spray of humic acid (2.5 ml L-1) at flowering
and seed setting stage significantly increased the seed germination (92.3 %),
root length (8.66 cm), shoot length (9.64 cm), seedling dry weight (28.20 mg),
seedling vigour index I (1670) and seedling vigour index II (2604). The foliage
cutting at 45 DAS with humic acid spray at 2.5ml L-1 was found to be
effective in enhancing seed quality of coriander.
