Physiological disorders, Symptoms & Management
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Coriandrum sativum |
| Hybrid | Sugreen Imp |
| Soil | Well-drained silt or loamy soils are suited for cultivation. pH should be 6–8. |
| Land Preparation | Prepare the main field to a fine tilth and sow seeds at a spacing of 15 x 10 cm. Seeds germinate in about 8–15 days. Whole seed does not germinate well, so seeds are split into halves before sowing for a better germination percentage. |
| Spacing | 20–25 cm x 5–6 cm, depending on the sowing method. |
| Climate | Performs well at 20–25°C. Prefers a cool, comparatively dry, frost-free climate. |

Diseases
| Disease | Symptoms & Control Measures |
|---|---|
| Powdery Mildew | White, powdery, cottony growth on leaves; severe cases lead to defoliation. Control: Carbendazim (1 ml/litre), Karathane (0.5 ml/litre), Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% @ 0.5 gm/ltr, or Meptyldinocap @ 0.5 gm/ltr. |
Pests
| Name of the Pest | Symptoms & Management |
|---|---|
| Aphids | Sap-sucking insects; can be controlled by hand-picking, spraying with a strong water jet, or introducing natural predators like ladybugs. Control: Acephate 75% SP (1.5 g/L), Imidacloprid 30.5% SC @ 0.25 ml/ltr. |
Harvesting
Leaves are ready for harvest in 28–30 days after sowing. Harvesting is done manually by pulling the plants. Light irrigation should be given before harvest; after harvesting, leaves are made into bunches for the market.
Yield
