Abstract:A field experiment on “Influence of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth and yield of coriander (
Coriandrum sativum L.)” was conducted at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during
rabi 2019-20 on loamy sand soil. Twelve treatment combinations comprising of three levels of inorganic fertilizer (100, 75 and 50% RDF), two sources of organic manure (FYM @ 5 t/ha and Castor cake @ 0.5 t/ha) and two levels of biofertilizer with biofertilizer
Azotobacter @ 5 ml/kg seed and without biofertilizer were laid out in randomized block design (factorial) with three replications.
The results revealed that the inorganic and organic sources significantly increased N & P content and uptake (seed and stover). An application of 100% RDF as well as castor cake @ 0.5 t/ha they gave highest net return and BCR. Significantly improved N & P content and uptake (seed and stover), net return and BCR due to Azotobacter @ 5 ml/kg seed.
