Abstract: The present study was conducted with the objective to know the extent of variation and characters inheritance in coriander. The study was comprised 73 genotypes (including three checks) in augmented design during Rabi seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16. The observations were recorded on growth attributes viz., days to 50% flowering, branches/plant, plant height and yield attributes viz., fruiting node per plant, uumbels per plant, umbellets per umbel, fruits per umbellets, fruits per umbel, umbel diameter(cm), plant height (cm), test weight (g) and yield per plant (g). The present study revealed the wide range of variation was observed for all the traits among the genotypes during both the years. High magnitude of genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation was recorded in case of for branches per plant and umbels per plant during 2014-15. The high estimates of PCV as well as GCV were recorded in case of umbels per plant, fruits per umbel and yield per plant in year 2015-16. The high heritability was expressed for the high estimates of heritability (>75 %) was observed for all the characters during both years of investigation except branches per plant in Y1 which showed moderate estimates of heritability. The highest genetic advance was expressed for umbels per plant followed by plant height, yield per plant, days to 50% flowering, while lowest genetic advance was showed for umbellets per umbel followed by branches/plant during the year, 2014-15. The highest genetic advance was expressed for umbels per plant followed by fruits per umbel, plant height, yield per plant, while lowest genetic advance was showed for umbel diameter followed by umbellets per umbel during the year 2015-16. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for umbels per plant, fruits per umbel, umbel diameter and yield per plant in 2014-15 and plant height, umbels per plant, fruits per umbellets and yield per plant in 2015-16.
