Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted at Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to assess the “Effect of potassium and zinc on yield and nutrient uptake by coriander†during the rabi season of 2016-17. The pot experiment comprising of five levels of potassium (0, 10, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1) and four levels of zinc sulphate (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg ha-1) in factorial completely randomized design replicated three times were tested in the experiment, in respect of yield attributes and yield and quality parameter. While the plant height and dry matter yield recorded at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest time. The experimental soil was medium black calcareous, clayey in nature which was slightly alkaline in reaction, pH2.5 - 8.0, EC2.5 - 0.58 dS m-1, low in available nitrogen (242 kg ha-1), medium in phosphorus (39.20 kg ha-1), available potassium (208 kg ha-1) and DTPA available zinc (0.55 mg kg-1). The application of potassium @ 60 kg ha-1 and zinc sulphate @ 30 kg ha-1 significantly increased the plant height, dry matter yield, seed yield, No. of branches per plant, No. of umbels per plant, No. of umbellate per umbel, No. of seed per umbellate and 1000-seed test weight. While the application of potassium @ 60 kg ha-1 along with zinc sulphate 30 kg ha-1 gave significantly higher plant height, dry matter yield, seed yield and No. of seed per umbellate of coriander.
