An investigation to study the fresh yield, dry bimass yield and quality traits was carried out at Department of Spices and Plantation Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during three seasons viz., season I (June 2008-August 2008), season II (October 2008-December 2008) and season III (June 2009-August 2009). From the study on mean performance of genotypes, the biomass yield showed positive significant association with plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, weight of leaves, weight of stem and weight of root during all the three seasons. Significant correlation of the biomass yield suggests the scope of direct effective selections for further improvement. These characters emerged as the most important associates of biomass yield in coriander.
