Field Preparation and Sowing
Field Preparation and Sowing:
Last week of October is the optimum sowing time of coriander. Delayed sowing reduces the plant growth and increase the incidence of diseases and pests. The soil is prepared to a fine tilth and well leveled. The beds of suitable size are laid out.
Seed rate:
A seed rate of 12-15 kg/ha is sufficient under irrigated conditions, whereas 25-30 kg/ha is required for un-irrigated conditions.
Spacing:
Sowing should be done 25 to 30 cm apart in lines with a plant to plant distance of 5 to 10 cm, whereas in heavy soils or fertile soils 40 cm spacing between rows is recommended. Broadcasting of seeds is also done.
Sowing:
The seeds are generally crushed or trampled into two halves and soaked overnight for quick germination. The seeds should be sown at 1 to 1.5 cm depth and takes about 7 to 10 days for germination. Seeds take more time, if sown without crushing to two halves light watering should be done after sowing if there is little or no moisture in the field.
