 ABSTRACT

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is most popular seed spice crops cultivated across India and can be considered as indispensable spice in the kitchen. Crop productivity is affected by the seed quality which determine the seed germination, vigour and viability. The experiment was conducted in the Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rabi season in the year 2018-19 to evaluate the performance of thirty coriander genotypes for identifying the suitable genotypes with higher seed quality. A wide range of variation and significant differences were reported among the genotypes for the six seed quality traits viz, test weight (g), standard germination (%), seedling length (cm), seedling dry weight (g), seed vigour index-I and seed vigour index-II. The assessment revealed that variation was highest for seed vigour index-I (1343.3-1903.3) followed by seed vigour index-II (107.2-198.0), standard germination (59.7-70.0), seedling length (22.1-28.2), test weight (8.3-13.4), while, it was low for seedling dry weight (1.8-2.8). The genotypes DH-306, DH-319, DH-313-1, DH- 325 and DH-308 were identified as the superior genotype in respect of their seed quality parameters taken under observation and they can be used for further breeding programmes.

Keywords: Genotypic variation, Test Weight, Seed Vigour Index-I, Seed Vigour Index-II and Standard Germination.
