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 growth
and seed yield. 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 sprays 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 (2.5ml L-1) at flowering and seed setting
stage significantly increased the plant height (66.07 cm), umbels per plant
(35.83), flowers per umbel (16.96), seeds per umbel (11.03), foliage yield per
hectare (154.25 q ha-1) and seed yield per hectare (19.08q ha-1).
The foliage cutting at 45 DAS with humic acid spray at 2.5ml L-1was
found to be effective in enhancing growth which in turn helps in getting higher
foliage yield and seed yield that provides an extra income to farmers.
