Effect of Cutting Management, Nitrogen and Spacing on Green Leaf Yield and Grain Yield of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) Cv. ‘Guj. Cori-2’

A field experiment with two levels of cutting management (nocutting andone cut at 45 DAS), three levels of nitrogen (20, 40 and 60 kg N ha⁻¹) and three levels of spacing (30, 45 and 60 cm) was conducted to study the response of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) cv. ‘GUJ. CORI-2’ to cutting management and nitrogen. One cut at 45 DAS recorded significantly highest number of branches plant⁻¹, number of umbel plant⁻¹, number of umbellates umbel⁻¹, number of seeds umbellate⁻¹, green leaf, seed yield and net realization. Significant difference was also observed due to application of nitrogen. Treatment N₂ (40 kg N ha⁻¹) recorded significantly higher plant height at 45 DAS and at harvest. Yield attributes, such as number of branches per plant, number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate were recorded significantly higher under this treatment. 45 cmspacing gave significantly higher number of umbel per plant, number of umbellate per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, while number of seeds per plant, seed and stalk yield were found non-significant due to spacing treatment.
