Abstract: Coriander is mainly used as condiment in the preparation of curry powder, pickles, sausages, seasonings, chutney and salads etc. There is great potential for commercial production of coriander under transitional zone but there is no systematic study on the performance of different genotypes. Hence the present investigation for identification of high yielding genotypes for a particular agro-climatic region has been undertaken. A field experimentation was laid out at Horticulture Research Station, Devihosur, Haveri District, Karnataka, in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for sixty one Devihosuru Coriander Collections (DCC) -1 to DCC-61 including DWR-1 and Ajjampura in two replication. Observation on various growth and herbage yield related parameters viz Plant height (cm), Number of primary branches, Number of secondary branches, Number of leaves, Fresh weight of the plant (g) Dry weight of the plant (g), Herbage yield (g), Days to 50% flowering, Number of umbels per plant, Number of umbellets per umbel, Number of seeds per umbellet, 1000 seed weight (g), Seed yield per plant (g), Days to maturity, Harvest index (%). were recorded. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant difference among genotypes for twenty eight characters. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was more than genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters studied. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for characters like plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of leaves, fresh weight of the plant, dry weight of the plant at harvest, number of umbels per plant, number of umbellets per umbel, thousand seed weight, number of seeds per umbellet, seed yield per plant. The present investigation also identified DCC 28, DCC 38, DCC 42, DCC 47, DCC 57 and DCC 5 as a promising genotypes for both herbage and seed yield under transitional zone of Karnataka.
