ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 on clayey soil at Junagadh to study the “Response of coriander (coriandrum sativum l.) to nitrogen and phosphorus in south saurashtra condition”. The experiment comprising of 16 treatment combinations with four levels of nitrogen viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg N/ha and four levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5/ha was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experiment results revealed that the 60 kg N/ha promoted growth parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant; yield attributes viz., number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, weight of seed per plant, test weight, ultimately higher seed yield (1483 kg/ha) and stover yield (1760 kg/ha),with higher net return (65976/ha) and B:C ratio (3.48) over the control (N1). Application of phosphorus enhanced significantly growth parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant; yield attributes viz., number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, weight of seeds per plant, 1000 seed weight higher seed yield (1388 kg/ha) and stover yield (1613 kg/ha), of coriander upto 40 kg P2O5/ha, the yield further increased with increasing level of P2O5 but could not reach upto level of significant.The maximum net realization of (61008/ha) obtained with 60 kg P2O5/ha, but B:C ratio maximum (3.26) was obtained with 40 kg P2O5/ha. It also significantly increased content and uptake of NPK kg/ha at 60 kg N/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha in seed and stover.
Key words: Coriander, Economics, Growth and Yield, Nitrogen, Nutrients content and uptake, Phosphorus.
