Influence of Sowing Date on the Yield of Coriander at Charland of Mymensingh

Chief Scientific Officer & Head, OFRD and Relevant Scientists of OFRD

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To find out the optimum sowing date for maximizing the seed yield of coriander, an experiment was conducted in the char land of Kalirbazar of Mymensingh during Rabi season of 2014-15 . The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. There were four planting dates viz.30 October, 15 November, 30 November and 15 December. The highest seed yield (1.63 t ha^-1) was obtained from 30 October sowing which was identical to 15 November (1.50 t ha^-1). The lowest seed yield was recorded from 5 December sowing time (1.10 t ha^-1). The highest gross return of Tk. 197660 ha^-1 and gross margin of Tk. 140960 ha^-1 were also obtained from 30 October sowing.

Keywords: Sowing date, Yield, Coriander, Charland

Location: Char land of Kalirbazar in Mymensingh disstrict

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Coriander

Objectives:

To find out the optimum sowing date of coriander for obtaining higher yield

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Char land of Kalirbazar in Mymensingh during rabi season 2014-15. The design of the experiment was Randomized Complete Block with three dispersed replications. Four sowing dates viz.30 October, 15 November, 30 November and 15 December were used in this study. The unit plot size was 6m × 2m. The seeds were sown as per date mentioned in the treatments with a spacing of 30 cm × 15 cm. The crop was fertilized with 73-24-50 kg ha^-1 of N, P, K and 5tha^-1 cowdung. The entire quantity of cowdung, P and half K was applied during final land preparation. The rest amount of K and N were applied in two equal splits at 25 and 40 DAS.The crop was harvested on 25 February, 7March, 16 March and 27 March 2015. Intercultural operations were done as and when required. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were recorded and analyzed statistically. Cost and return analysis was done on the basis of prevailing market prices of input and output.

Achievement/Findings:

Early sowing of coriander i.e between October 30 to November 15 found to be the optimum sowing dates for maximizing the yield in the char land of Kalirbazar, Thrishal and Mymensingh. It should be repeated next year.
