Response of spacing, phosphorus level and cutting of leaves on growth and yield of coriander

Abstract

The experiment was carried out to study the response of spacing, phosphorus levels and cutting of leaves on growth and yield of coriander cv. Hisar Anand. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replication, having three levels of phosphorus (25,50 and 75 kg P2O5/ha), two spacing (20x20 and 40x10cm) and three cutting of leaves (C0-Control, C1- One cutting at 30 days, C2- two cutting at 30 and 50 days after sowing). The treatment combination 75 kg P2O5/ha with a spacing 40x10cm and without cutting resulted in maximum seed yield. It was closely followed by treatment 50 kg P2O5/ha + 40x10cm spacing without cutting. Significantly the higher green leaves yield was recorded in the treatment combination of highest levels of phosphorus (75 kg) + spacing (20x20cm) and two cutting of green leaves treatment. Minimum seed yield was recorded in 25 kg P2O5/ha + 20x20cm spacing with two cutting of green leaves treatment combination.
