 ABSTRACT

The investigation was undertaken to assess the genetic parameters in respect of yield and its attributes of fourty different genotypes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum Linn.). The maximum genotypic coefficient of variability (35.68%), broad sense heritability (94.19%) and genetic advance over mean (71.33%) were obtained for umbels per plant. Seed yield was positively associated with several characters such as plant height, primary branches per plant, secondary branches per plant, umbels per plant, umbellets per umbel and seeds per umbel. Quantitative trait like plant height, primary branches per plant, secondary branches per plant, umbels per plant, seeds per umbel, 1000-seeds weight, days to maturity, green biomass per plant harvest index and total oil content exhibited wide range of variability, maximum genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variability, broad sense heritability and genetic gain (as per cent of mean). It was found that genotypes NCG-12, NCG-4, NCG-3, NCG-22 and NCG-7 were promising.
