Genetic variation for seed yield and its components and their association in coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) germplasm

Evaluation of 360 lines of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) at Jobner (Rajasthan) indicatedhigh variability for seed yield (22.82%), umbels plant-1 (28.65%) and seeds umbel-1 (21.63%)and low variability for days to 50% flowering (12.39%) and umbellets umbel-1 (13.30%). Highbroad sense heritability (91.94%) and genetic advance (56.55%) were obtained for umbelsplant-1 and seeds umbel-1. Correlation and path coefficient analysis indicated that umbelsplant-1 and branches plant-1 were the most important traits as they exerted positive directeffect on seed yield. &nbsp
