 ABSTRACT

The genetic improvement of coriander depends mainly on the substantial magnitude of variability in the genotypes. The study was under taken on sixteen coriander varieties using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The varieties of coriander exhibited significant differences for all the characters studied, except for the number of seeds per umbellet. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for characters like seed yield per plant, seed yield per hectare, test weight, harvest index, plant spread and dry weight of plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean was observed for plant spread, fresh and dry weight of plant, number of umbellets per umbel, seed yield per plant and seed yield per hectare, which might be assigned to additive gene effect governing their inheritance for these traits. Therefore, greater emphasis should be given on these characters while selecting for higher yield and related traits.

Key words: Coriandrum sativum, Genetic variability, Heritability, Genetic advance, Harvest index
