Yield and quality among coriander accessions as influenced by genotype in coriander

The present study was conducted during rabi season in the year 2015–2016 at HCRI Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh to evaluate thirty genotypes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The genotypes LCC-322 found highest plant (74.68 cm); The genotype LCC-335 produced the maximum number of primary branches per plant (30.31); The genotype LCC-322 produced the maximum number of secondary branches per plant (19.02); The maximum whole plant fresh weight was recorded at 75 DAS (19.95 g) in the genotype LCC-200; The maximum dry weight (3.30 g) was observed in LCC-317; The genotype LCC-319 had maximum number of schizocarps per umbel; genotype LCC-317 produced more number of schizocarps per umbellets (5.90), genotype AD-1 produced less number of schizocarps per umbellets (3.90), genotype LCC-317 produced more number of schizocarps per plant (228.04) which was on par with LCC-321 (218.02). The highest herbage yield per plant (8.12 g) was recorded by the genotype Shiggaon-3; Maximum biomass production (46.35 g) was recorded by LCC-321; The genotype commercial check Suguna recorded maximum harvest index (57.75); The highest thousand grain weight (12.05 g) was recorded by LCC-322; The maximum grain size (4.16 mm) was recorded by LCC-322. Whereas maximum yield was achieved in genotype Suguna (commercial check) (502.17 kg/ha) was significantly superior over than other genotypes evaluated.
