Coriander, essential oil quality, seed yield and selection.Abstract
Spices have played a pivotal role in human history, not only as culinary ingredients but also for their medicinal, economic, and cultural importance. Coriander is grown both for seed spices purpose in rabi season and leafy vegetable purpose as herb all the year round. The average productivity of coriander seeds in India is 1330 kg/ha (2017-18) as against genetic potential of 1600-2000 kg/ha. So there is a need of high-yielding coriander variety with disease resistance. A new coriander variety ACr-2 was developed and released in 2019 for all coriander growing areas of India (Rajasthan, Haryana, Bihar Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttrakhand and Chhattisgarh). Adoption of new coriander variety ACr-2 by the coriander growers will increase their farm productivity and income, thus improving their livelihood besides better sustenance of the spice industry in the country.
