INVESTIGATION ON EFFECT OF SOWING DATES AND CUTTING MANAGEMENT ON PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CORIANDER (CORIANDRUM SATIVUM L.) VARIETY JD- 1Pragya Uikey, Reena Nair, Ankita Sharma, Shikha Arya and Srishti NathAbstract Agronomic practices, genetics and environmental factors explicitly affect growth, development and yield of crop plant, so study of these factors is crucial. The present study was conducted at Vegetable Research Centre, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur, (M.P.) to study effect of sowing dates and cutting management on different parameters of coriander var. Jawahar Dhaniya - 1. The experiment was laid out on factorial randomized block design with 2 factors viz. Sowing date and cutting management. The investigation consisted of five level of sowing date (20 October, 30 October, 9 November, 19 November and 29 November) and four level of cutting management (0 cutting,1 cutting, 2 cutting and 3 cutting). Analysis of variance showed that effect of sowing dates and cutting management on physiological parameters i.e., Dry matter production, Light transmission ratio (LTR), Energy interception (EI), Total chlorophyll content, Leaf area index (LAI) and Crop growth rate (CGR) is significant. |
