Field experiments were carried out with seven levels of potassium (K) (as
-1
K O ha ) using coriander (var. Ajmer coriander-1) on a medium fertile2
sandy loam soil (Typic Haplustepts). These results revealed that plant
height and secondary branches were lower at higher level of K, while the
growth, yield and associated attributes were statistically (p<0.05) at par
with control. The reduction in seed yield per pot was 4.2 to 8.3 % beyond
-1
soil application of 40 kg K O ha . There was no significant (p<0.05)2
variation in seed nutrient content, except N and K uptake. The N content in
-1
seed was higher at120 kg K ha , while K content in seed was more beyond
the 60 kg of applied K. Nutrient content in coriander straw increased
marginally with increase in doses of K. Uptake of nutrients and sodium
(Na) content decreased with increase in doses of K. Potassium availability
-1
was more with higher doses of K; beyond the 40 kg K ha and rest of
nutrient remained at par with doses of K. Soil exchangeable Na was
enhanced slightly with doses of K and soil accumulation was more than its
initial level. Therefore, it is recommended that there is no need to apply K in
coriander, if sufficient availability of K is there in soil and irrigation water
bears an appreciable amount of K. Moreover, higher application of K and
deep irrigations (>50mm) makes coriander susceptible for frost injury, if it
occurs and ultimately reduces crop yield.
