Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University farm, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the rabi season of 2011-2012 to find out the Yield and yield contributes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) as influenced by spacing and variety. The experiment consisted varieties, spacing and their combination viz., spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm produced the maximum seed yield (2.01t ha^-1) which was statistically similar with 20 x 15 cm (1.99 t ha^-1), 25 cm x 10 cm (1.94 t ha^-1) and 20 x 10 cm spacing (1.95 t ha^-1) following randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The variety BARI Dhonia-1 gave higher values compared to Faridpur local. The variety Faridpur local in combination with 30 x 10 cm spacing gave the highest seed yield (2.16 t ha^-1) identical with 25 cm x 10 cm spacing with the same variety Faridpur local (2.10 t ha^-1).

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Coriander

Objectives:

Objective of the study was to study the yield performance of Coriander in response to plant spacing and variety.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during Rabi (November – February), 2012 to study the yield performance of Coriander in response to plant spacing and variety. The experiment consisted six levels of spacing and two varieties and their interaction were used in the experiment viz. 20 x 10 cm (S₁), 25 x 10 cm (S₂), 30 x 10 cm (S₃), 20 x 15 cm (S₄), 25 x 15 cm (S₅), 30 x 15 cm (S₆) and two varieties viz. BARI Dhonia-1 (V₁) and Local (Faridpur) (V₂) followed by randomized complete block design (RCBD) having twelve treatments with 3 replications. The size of unit plot was 3 m x 1.8 m. The total number of treatments was (6 Levels of population density × 2 varieties) 12 and the number of plots were 36. The land was opened by discplough 15 days before seeding. Thereafter, the land was prepared thoroughly by ploughing and cross ploughing followed by laddering and harrowing to have good tilth. Manures and fertilizers were applied at the following doses Cowdung 10 ton/ha, Nitrogen 80 kg/ha, Phosphorus 35 kg/ha respectively. The entire amount of Cowdung, phosphorus from TSP, and potassium from MP, Sulphur from Gypsum with one-half of nitrogen and applied during final land preparation. The rest of the nitrogen was applied in two equal splits at 30 and 60 days after sowing of seeds as top dress. The seeds were sown in rows 20 cm apart continuously by hand @ 40 kg/ha. The sowing was done on November 14, 2012 with slight watering just to supply sufficient moisture needed for quick germination. The desired population density was maintained by thinning plants 15 days after emergence. Irrigation, mulching, weeding and plant protection measures etc. were performed as needed to uniform germination, better crop establishment and proper plant growth. The field was kept free by hand weeding. First weeding was done after 25 days after sowing (DAS). Four irrigations were given at 20, 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing. Seeds were harvested when half of the fruits on the plant changed from green to brown colour. To avoid shattering of fruits, harvesting of seed plant was cut to the base by sickles in the early morning. seeds (grains) were separated by beating with sticks and cleaned by winnowing and dried properly. Data were collection on Plant height at bolting (cm), Number of primary branches plant^-1, Number of umbels plant^-1, Umbel circumference and diameter (cm), No. of umbellates umbel^-1, No. of seeds umbel^-1, No. of seeds umbellate^-1, No. of seeds plant^-1, Dry seed yield plant^-1 (g), Dry seed yield plot^-1 (g), Thousand seed weight (g), Dry seed yield (t/ha), Stover yield (straw yield) plot^-1 (g), Stover yield (straw yield) t/ha). Collected data were analyzed statistically by F-test to examine whether the treatment effects were significant. The mean comparisons of the treatments were evaluated by DMRT (Ducan's Multiple Range Test). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) for different parameters was done by a computer package programme MSTAT-C.

Achievement/Findings:

There was no significant difference between two coriander varieties, BARI dhonia-1 and Faridpur local in respect of most of the yield parameters and seed yield. The spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm gave the maximum coriander seed yield identical with 20 cm x 15 cm spacing. The variety Faridpur local in combination with 30 cm x 10 cm spacing gave the highest seed yield of coriander closely followed by 25 cm x 15 cm spacing with the same variety Faridpur local. The variety BARI Dhonia-1 coupled with spacing of 20 cm x 10 cm produced the identical seed yield.
