Influence of sowing date, nitrogen and plant growth regulators on growth and yield of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)

Abstract

Field experiments conducted at Udaipur (Rajasthan) indicated that coriander (Coriandrumsativum) crop sown on 15th October resulted in significantly higher growth and yield ascompared to 15th November sown crop. Higher levels of nitrogen fertilization did not showany significant influence on growth and yield. Foliar spray of naphthalene aceticacid (25ppm) at 30 days after sowing resulted in significantly higher growth and seed yield whichwas on par with gibberellic acid (50 ppm) spray at 30 days after sowing.
