Abstract:
The experiment was carried out in the experimental field of Pt. K.L.S. College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) in the year 2021-22 under Department of Vegetable Science with a view to study the “Effect of seed treatment with organic and inorganic substances on economics of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)”. The crop Coriander of variety Chhattisgarh Shri Chandrahasini Dhania-2 were used to grown in 12 number of treatments with 3 replications into the field in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The soil of experimental field was sandy clay loam. Fertilizer dosage recommended for coriander is 24:16:16 gm/plot (N: P₂O₅:K₂O) was applied in 12 treatments. The economic parameters like maximum total cost of cultivation Rs 50726.50 ha^-1, maximum gross return Rs 167103.75 ha^-1, maximum net return Rs 116377.25 ha^-1 and maximum B:C Ratio (2.29) were found significantly superior in the treatment T₅ (GA₃ 100 ppm + Trichoderma viride 2 ml per liter of water) and which was at par with treatment T₆ (GA₃ 75 ppm + Trichoderma viride 2 ml per liter of water) and T₇ (GA₃ 50 ppm + Trichoderma viride 2 ml per liter of water). On the basis of overall performance, the treatment T₅ (GA₃ 100 ppm + Trichoderma viride 2 ml per liter of water) was found best for cultivation of coriander with higher green foliage yield and economic return.
