Abstract

The productivity of coriander is affected due to an appropriate use of row spacing and seed rate practices at Bale. Therefore, an on farm experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different seed rates and row spacing on growth, yield components and seed yield of coriander. The treatments are consisted of factorial combinations of three seed rates (12, 15 and 18 kg ha-1) and four row spacing (25, 30, 35 and 40 cm) in Randomized complete block design with three replications. The highest number of secondary branches per plant (4.10) and (3.89) was obtained from 18 kg ha-1 seed rate and 40 row spacing respectively. The highest number of umbels per plant (17.36) and (17.58) were obtained from 15 kg ha-1 seed rate and 35 cm row spacing respectively. The highest biomass yield (6000 kg ha-1) and (6098 kg ha-1) were obtained from 18 kg ha-1 seed rate and 40 cm row spacing respectively. The maximum plant height (82.83cm) was recorded from 18 kg ha-1 seed rate and 25 cm row spacing of coriander. The highest number of primary branches per plant was obtained from 15 kg ha-1 seed rate and 35 cm row spacing. The maximum seed yield (2714 kg ha-1) was obtained from seed rate of 15 kg ha-1 and 35 cm row spacing. Therefore, based on the results of the yield and other growth and yield parameters use of 15 kg ha-1 seed rate and 35 cm row spacing can be tentatively recommended for farmers for production of coriander in the study area.
