Growth and yield of herbage coriander as influenced by foliar spray of urea

An experiment was conducted to study the growth and yield of herbage coriander as influenced by four urea spraying treatments (0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5%) along with control. The treatments were applied at 20 days of sowing. Spraying of urea had a significant impact on growth and yield of herbage coriander. Among the treatments, the treatment 0.50 per cent urea recorded its superiority for number of leaves per plant (38.33), shoot-root ratio (7.60), use index (88.37) and increase in yield over control (35.99%). This treatment was at par with other treatments for the characters like plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf chlorophyll content, shoot weight and yield which were better than control. However, number of leaves per plant, shoot-root ratio, use index, yield per ha and increase in yield over control decreased with the increase in urea concentration.
