Description
खेती एवं बुवाई निर्देशिका — Coriander AgriBee – 2
फसल के सर्वोत्तम प्रबंधन, रोग प्रतिरोधकता और प्रीमियम उत्पादन के लिए संपूर्ण चरणबद्ध कृषि निर्देशिका।
🌾 भूमि की तैयारी एवं खेत सुधार
खेत की समुचित जुताई एवं तैयारी से एकसमान अंकुरण और मजबूत जड़ों का विकास होता है।
🌱 आदर्श मिट्टी का प्रकार एवं pH
Well-drained loamy to sandy-loam soils with good organic matter; pH range 6.0 – 7.8. Coriander does not tolerate waterlogging or heavy clayey soils.
✨ प्रमुख कृषि लाभ
Fine seedbed tilth ensures rapid and uniform germination, as coriander seeds are small and delicate, requiring shallow soil contact for consistent emergence.
- 1
Deep summer ploughing followed by 2–3 cross-harrowings to produce a fine, clod-free tilth ideal for small-seeded coriander.
- 2
Field leveling and drainage preparation to prevent standing water, which causes seed rot and poor germination.
- 3
Incorporation of 8–10 tonnes/acre of well-decomposed FYM or compost during last ploughing to improve soil structure and nutrient-holding capacity.
- 4
Soil health conditioning — apply gypsum at 25 kg/acre in alkaline soils; use rock phosphate in acidic zones to balance pH for optimal nutrient uptake.
🌱 बुवाई का समय एवं विधि
सटीक बीज दर और सही दूरी से पौधों को पर्याप्त सूर्य का प्रकाश और संतुलित विकास मिलता है।
| मानक / पैरामीटर | अनुशंसा / निर्देश | कृषि महत्व |
|---|---|---|
| बुवाई समय सीमा | Rabi: 15 October – 15 November | Kharif: 15 June – 15 July (rain-fed or protected zones) | Coriander is a cool-season crop; Rabi sowing gives better fruit quality and essential oil content, while early Kharif sowing avoids late-season heat stress. |
| बीज दर (प्रति एकड़) | 20 kg per acre | Ensures adequate plant population for uniform canopy development and maximises fruit-setting without excessive competition. |
| कतार एवं पौधे का अंतर | 30 cm (row-to-row) × 10 cm (plant-to-plant) | Optimal spacing promotes better air circulation, reduces humidity-related disease pressure, and supports even fruit maturation across the canopy. |
| बुवाई की गहराई | 1.5 – 2.0 cm (surface sowing with light soil covering) | Coriander seeds are small (100-seed weight ~5.7 g); deep sowing severely reduces emergence and germination percentage. |
💧 सिंचाई एवं जल प्रबंधन
उचित नमी प्रबंधन से पौधे की वानस्पतिक एवं फलने-फूलने की अवस्था में जोरदार विकास होता है।
☀️ जल आवश्यकता एवं सिंचाई प्रोफाइल
Coriander is moderately drought-sensitive during germination and early vegetative growth. Under drip irrigation, apply 25–30 mm per event at 7–10 day intervals. The crop performs best with 4–6 irrigation events from sowing to pre-harvest. Drip systems enhance water-use efficiency and reduce foliar disease incidence.
🌦️ Soil नमी प्रबंधन
In rainfed conditions, ensure timely pre-sowing irrigation (1–2 flood irrigations) to build up soil moisture. Apply mulching with straw to conserve moisture. Avoid waterlogging at any stage, especially during monsoon Kharif sowing, as it causes root rot and seedling mortality.
- ✓
First irrigation within 48 hours of sowing to ensure proper seed-soil contact and rapid germination.
- ✓
Vegetative phase: light irrigation every 10–12 days to sustain foliage growth and essential oil accumulation.
- ✓
Critical stage at 40–50 DAS (initiation of flowering and fruit set) — maintain adequate soil moisture; water stress during this period reduces fruit size and oil content.
- ✓
Withhold irrigation completely 10–12 days before harvest to allow fruits to dry on the plant and facilitate easy threshing.
🧪 उर्वरक एवं पोषण प्रबंधन
संतुलित पोषण से मजबूत पौधा संरचना और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली उपज प्राप्त होती है।
| पोषक तत्व | अनुशंसित मात्रा (प्रति एकड़) | प्रयोग विधि एवं समय |
|---|---|---|
| नाइट्रोजन (N) | 40–50 kg/acre | 50% basal at sowing + 50% top-dressing at 25–30 DAS as urea |
| फॉस्फोरस (P₂O₅) | 25–30 kg/acre | 100% basal application as DAP or single super phosphate during last harrowing |
| पोटाश (K₂O) | 20–25 kg/acre | 100% basal as MOP alongside P fertilizer for improved fruit filling and stalk strength |
🌿 निराई-गुड़ाई एवं खरपतवार नियंत्रण
समय पर खरपतवार नियंत्रण से मुख्य फसल को पूर्ण पोषण और नमी मिलती है।
-
1
पहली निराई-गुड़ाई: Carry out at 15–20 DAS using a hoe or cono-weeder. Coriander has slow early growth and is highly susceptible to weed competition during the first 3 weeks. Shallow hoeing avoids root damage.
-
2
दूसरी निराई एवं मिट्टी चढ़ाना: Perform at 30–35 DAS. Light earthing-up around the base improves root aeration and provides anchorage as plants reach 95–100 cm height, reducing lodging risk.
-
3
Mulching Operation: Apply straw mulch @ 2–3 tonnes/acre after second weeding to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain uniform soil temperature throughout the growing period.
🛡️ कीट एवं रोग नियंत्रण
फसल की सक्रिय निगरानी और एकीकृत प्रबंधन से रोगमुक्त एवं स्वस्थ फसल सुनिश्चित होती है।
🐛 कीट प्रबंधन एवं रोकथाम
- Aphids (Myzus persicae): Suck sap from young leaves and stems, causing curling and stunting; also vector viral diseases. Control: Spray Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 0.3 ml/L or Spirotetramat 15% OD @ 1.0 ml/L at 15–20 DAS. For biocontrol, introduce Aphidius colemani or spray neem-based products (Neem Gold 3000 ppm) @ 3 ml/L.
- Coriander Fruit Borer (Diaphania indica): Larvae bore into developing fruits causing and seed damage. Control: Spray Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 0.5 ml/L or Bacillus thuringiensis @ 2.5 g/L at early flower initiation stage. Install pheromone traps @ 10/acre for monitoring.
- Leaf Miners (Liriomyza coriandri): Creates serpentine tunnels in leaves reducing photosynthetic area. Control: Spray Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OR @ 0.6 ml/L or spinosad 45% SC @ 0.3 ml/L. Remove and destroy infected leaves promptly.
🔬 रोग नियंत्रण एवं उपचार
- Leaf Spot / Cercospora Leaf Spot (Cercospora coriandri): Small circular brown spots with grey centres on leaves, leading to premature defoliation. Control: Spray Mancozeb 75% WP @ 2.5 g/L or Chlorothalonil 50% WP @ 2.0 g/L at first appearance. Practice crop rotation and ensure adequate spacing for air flow.
- Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum): ਚਿੱਟਾ powdery growth on leaves and stems, prevalent under humid conditions. Control: Spray Sulphur 80% WP @ 3.0 g/L or Myclobutanil 6.9% WG @ 0.5 g/L. Avoid overhead irrigation and reduce nitrogen overdose.
- Root Rot / Damping-off (Rhizoctonia solani & Pythium spp.): Seedlings show wilting, blackening at base, and collapse. Control: Treat seeds with Trichoderma viride @ 4 g/kg seed or carbendazim @ 2 g/kg before sowing. Ensure well-drained seedbeds and avoid waterlogging.
✂️ कटाई एवं उपज गुणवत्ता निर्देशिका
सही परिपक्वता पर कटाई से अधिकतम मंडी भाव और बेहतर भंडारण क्षमता मिलती है।
⏱️ कटाई समय एवं निर्धारण
Harvest at 100–110 DAS when 75–80% of fruits turn light yellowish-brown and seeds harden. Cut whole plants at base using sickle, bundle, and spread for sun drying for 2–3 days before threshing.
⭐ उपज की गुणवत्ता एवं विशेषताएं
Light yellowish mericarps with strong characteristic coriander aroma, high essential oil content (1.5–3.0%), well-filled seeds, minimal broken or shrivelled fruit content, and low foreign matter — meeting spice grading standards.
| गुणवत्ता मानक | कृषि मानक | किसान एवं मंडी लाभ |
|---|---|---|
| कटाई की अवस्था | 100–110 बुवाई के दिन बाद (full physiological maturity) | Ensures maximum essential oil development, optimal seed weight, and superior flavour potency |
| परिपक्वता के लक्षण | Fruits turn light yellowish-brown; seeds become hard and fragrant; lower leaves begin senescence | Prevents over-maturity that leads to shattering losses and under-maturity that reduces oil content |
| भंडारण क्षमता एवं टिकाऊपन | 3–4 months in gunny bags under cool, dry, well-ventilated conditions; essential oil retained for extended period due to vigorous seed coat | Facilitates storage, long-distance transport, and flexible marketing without rapid quality degradation |
| मंडी मांग एवं उपयुक्तता | Premium quality dry fruits suitable for spice mandis, export markets, oil extraction, and processing units | Uniform size, colour, and aroma attract higher prices from traders and exporters seeking graded coriander |
