Abstract:
The present study was undertaken at Vegetable Research Center, Department of Vegetable Science, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar during the Rabi season of 2021-2022. An attempt has been made using ninety three genotypes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) including three checks (Pant Haritima, Hissar Anand and RCr-728) in Augmented Block Design-II with six blocks. The observations were recorded on twelve growth and yield attributes. Results revealed that significant difference among the genotypes indicating adequate variability in the material and response to selection may be accepted in the breeding programme for seed yield or any of its supporting characters under study. The genotype LCS 32-55, JCr 1-290, CS 57-44, JCr 61-28 and LCS-654 showed significantly superior performance in respect of seed yield over the best performing check Pant Haritima. So, these genotypes further can be utilized in crop improvement programme or can be released as variety suitable for Tarai conditions of Uttarakhand.
