Interactive Effect of Seed Priming and Foliar Application with Different Concentrations of Micronutrients on Economics of Coriandrum sativum L. var JD-1

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the interactive effect of seed priming and foliar application with different concentrations of micronutrients on economics of coriander var JD-1. The experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Centre, Maharajpur, Department of Horticulture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh during Rabi season of 2020- 2021 with 18 treatments (seed priming with copper and manganese separately @ 150, 300 and 450 ppm each along with foliar spray @ 0.1% Copper and 0.1 % Manganese separately at 45 and 75 DAS). The results highlighted that treatment, T11 seed priming with Mn @ 150 ppm and foliar spray of 0.1% Mn at 45 DAS) and T17 (seed priming with Mn @ 450 ppm and foliar spray of 0.1% Mn at 45 DAS) recorded the maximum B:C ratio. It can be concluded from the findings of present study that the seed priming and foliar application of copper and manganese had significantly influenced the seed yield hence, increased the economic profitability i.e., net monetary returns and benefit-cost ratio of coriander.
