Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study regrowth and yield of coriander influenced by nitrogen (N) with five different urea doses (0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0% by volume) as foliar spray. Spraying of urea has a significant impact on growth and yield in the second cut. Leaf emergence rate (LER) was higher during initial growth phase and then drastically reduced until first cutting, whereas the stem elongation rate (SER) recorded its peak value during 75-105 DAS. Impact of foliar spray was conspicuous during the later phase of regrowth with the treatment of 2.5% urea achieving the highest SER. Additional return due to spraying was positive up to a dose of 2.5% urea and decreased thereafter. Hence, the study indicated that a foliar spray of nitrogen (2.5% urea) may be beneficial for coriander leaf production under multicut system and the crop is sensitive to rainfall, phototemperature, and morning humidity.
