Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Variability and association studies for foliage yield components and its quality parameters in Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) ’’ was carried out at Pt. KLS College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur(C.G.) during 2016-17. The experiment was comprised of twenty eight genotype of coriander, laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The data were analyzed to work out the genetic variability, correlation coefficient and path analysis for the character viz., Plant height, Number of branch per plant, Stem base diameter, Number of leaves per plant, Leaf length, Leaf width, Petiole length, Root length, Root weight, Plant fresh weight, Fresh leaf weight ,Leaf stem ratio, Fresh stem weight, Dry leaf weight, Dry stem weight, Dry plant weight, Foliage yield (kg/plot), Foliage yield (q/ha), Fiber percentage, Dry matter percentage, K , Ca. Analysis of variance revealed that the mean sum of square due to genotypes was highly significant for all characters except plant height and dry matter. Estimation of genetic parameters for various characters revealed that the high magnitude of genotypic as well as phenotypic coefficient of variation were recorded for leaf stem ratio, dry stem weight, root weight, fresh stem weight, foliage yield kg per plot, plant fresh weight, foliage yield q per ha, dry plant weight, fresh leaf weight, K mg per 100 g, dry leaf weight, stem base diameter, Ca mg per 100 g and number of leaves per plant. In present investigation, COR- 07 was superior among all the genotype for most of the characters viz. Plant fresh weight, Fresh stem weight, Dry stem weight, Dry plant weight, leaf yield q per ha, Ca mg per 100 g, whereas COR-10 was superior among all the genotype for most of the characters viz. number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, stem base diameter. Higher heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean were observed for leaf stem ratio, dry stem weight, root weight, fresh stem weight, K mg per 100 g , foliage yield kg per plot, plant fresh weight, foliage yield q per ha, dry plant weight, fresh leaf weight, dry leaf weight, Ca mg per 100 g, stem base diameter, number of leaves per plant , fiber content and petiole length. Correlation coefficient studies revealed that foliage yield kg per plot showed the highest positive and significant correlation with all the quantitative characters at both genotypic and phenotypic levels except leaf stem ratio. The path analysis confined that direct effect of foliage yield kg per plot on fresh stem weight, fresh leaf weight, root weight, dry plant weight, leaf width, leaf stem ratio, plant height and petiole length should be considered simultaneously for amenability in foliage yield of coriander.
