PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF CORIANDER UNDER PROTECTED CONDITIONS

A field experiment entitled "Standardization of production technology of coriander under protected condition" comprised of six treatments of protected structure laid out in randomized block design with three replications in coriander crop. The treatments comprising of [insect proof net covered high walk in tunnel(T1), plastic sheet covered high walk in tunnel(T2), vertical plastic wall(T3), open condition(T4), absolute control (no pesticide applied for insect pest disease management, T5), flatbed (surface irrigation, T6)] were tested to standardize the production technology of coriander under protected condition. All treatments except flatbed(T6), crop was sown on raised beds coupled with drip fertigation. The observations on the vegetative growth, yield attributing components, yield and nutrient uptake were recorded during the course of investigation. The higher total N, P and K uptake was found in vertical wall(87.98, 13.04, 131.81 kg/ha respectively). The highest net return Rs. 119392 and maximum B: C ratio (3.13) was recorded in vertical plastic wall as compared to other treatments.
