The present study was conducted in Khanpur Panchayat Samiti of Jhalawar district, which was selected purposely. Similarly, from Khanpur Panchayat Samiti, five Gram Panchayats were selected on the basis of having highest area and production of coriander among all the Gram Panchayats of Khanpur Panchayat Samiti. Seed spices as a group of crops and in particularly coriander, fenugreek, cumin and fennels are very important not only for home consumption but also for improving economic condition of the farmers at large. Seed spices are the crops in which interest of industries is also increasing consistently. Traders and exporters are equally concerned about development of seed spices in the country. From these considerations, seed spices are not only cash crop but also they can be termed as “dynamic crop commodities” particularly in the view of their great export potential. There was significant association between different variables viz., age, education, family size, family type and size of land holding with knowledge level of tribal, non-tribal as well as over all coriander growing farmers.
