ABSTRACT
Ninety genotypes and three checks (Pant Haritima, Hisar Anand and ACr-728) of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were evaluated in Augmented Block Design during Rabi season of 2009-10 and 2010-11 at Vegetable Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar,to study the genetic variation for thirteen growth and yield characters namely, days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height up to main umbel, plant height including main umbel, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of umbels per plant, number of umbelletes per umbel, number of fruits per umbel, number of fruits per umbellate , seed yield per plot(g), seed yield per plant (g), seed yield kg per ha and 1000-seed weight (g).
Character association indicate seed yield (kg per hectare) have significant and positive correlation with plant height upto mainumbel (0.325), plant height including main umbels (0.331), number of fruits per umbel (0.290), seed yield per plot (0.743) and seed yield per plant (0.361). The path coefficient analysis revealed that the highest direct effect was shown by seed yield per plot (0.6975), toward on seed yield (kg per hectare) followed by number of fruits per umbels (0.2716), seed yield per plant (0.1143), 1000-seed weight (0.060), days to 50 per cent flowering (0.0281), number of primary branches per plant (0.0734) and plant height upto main umbels.
Key words: Coriander, Coriandrum sativum L correlation, path analysis, yield.
