Abstract
The field investigation was conducted to study the effect of row spacing and leaf cutting on seed yield and contributing traits in coriander for two years (2016-17 and 2017-18) at University seed farms, Ladhowal of PAU Ludhiana, India. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with 12 treatments comprising three inter row spacing (30 cm, 45 cm and 60 cm) as main plot treatments and varying number of leaf cuttings (no cut, one cut, two cut and three cuttings) as sub plot treatments and was replicated three times. It is concluded that 60 cm row spacing and one leaf cutting has performed better in case of vegetative growth of plants as maximum number of primary and secondary shoots, thousand seed weight and higher germination percentage was observed in this treatments. Whereas for green leaf yield, 30 cm row spacing along with three leaf cutting has resulted in maximum green leaf yield per hectare (262.77 q/ha) and for higher seed yield (7.1 q/ha), 30 cm spacing along with one leaf cutting has performed best during both the years of study (2016-17 and 2017-18).
