Abstract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), owing to several functional properties, is valued profusely in food and medicinal industry. Stem gall disease, caused by Protomyces macrospores fungus has become a widespread disease of the coriander and causing heavy damage to the crop in the production areas due to monoculture of old varieties. A new variety NRCSS ACr-1 has been developed when evaluated under multi-location trials under the hotspot areas compared to different check varieties. It produced on an average 1168.8 kg/ha seed yield, which had 0.49% essential oil and 8.68% total oil. It showed higher yield even under hot spot situations with no major yield reduction
