Abstract

The coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is a cool season crop and can be successfully cultivated in rabi season on black cotton or other type of heavy soils. The study was conducted in the College of agriculture, OUAT, Bhawanipatna to study the effect of season of sowing on foliage yield and quality of coriander under two different growing condition viz., open field and shade net (50%). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eighteen treatments replicated thrice. Under Shade net grown coriander yielded well compared to open field condition. In open field condition there was no germination observed during summer months (March, April and May) while in shade net condition slight reduction of yield was observed compared to other months. In case of quality, no significance was observed between open field and shade net condition. In case of effect on month of sowing, October month recorded higher yield and quality for both the condition

Keywords

Coriander, Shade net, Yield, Quality, Year, Production

Conclusion

The study's conclusions showed that growing coriander in a shade net environment is a lucrative way to produce fresh coriander leaves and earn money all year long, something that isn't feasible in an open field
