ABSTRACT
One of the main reasons for low yield in coriander is due to non-availability of region specific. Apart from selection of suitable genotypes, optimum sowing season, nutritional requirement and resistance to biotic stresses are important factors for accomplishing the higher yield in coriander. Evaluation of different coriander genotypes for high yielding genotypes for a particular agro-climatic region will be more beneficial for realizing high yield and income assessing to growers. In this connection, the present experiment was carried out to evaluate 21 genotypes for growth parameters under Northern transitional zone of Karnataka. Twenty one genotypes taken for the study indicated significant variation among them at all the stages of crop growth. The highest plant height was recorded in DCC-68 (69.00 cm) at harvest, Genotypes DCC-76 (9.27) and DCC-70 (12.00) recorded higher number of primary and secondary branches, respectively. Maximum fresh weight and dry weight per plant was recorded in DCC-79 (24.52 g & 3.75 g respectively). DCC-71 registered maximum plant spread East-West (19.01 cm) and North-South plant spread (17.90 cm).
