EVALUATION OF THREE CORIANDER (Coriandrum salivam L.) CULTIVARS IN TWO SOWING PERIODS
Abstract
Coriander is an aromatic and medicinal plant of great importante. The grains and leaves are marketed, used in pharmaceutical industry, and as seasoning. The aim of this work was to identify differences among cultivars and sowing periods. The experiments were carried out in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. The seeds of the cultivars Verdão, Português and Nacional Palmeira were submitted to the germination standard test. In the evaluation of the sowing periods, the treatments were arranged in a factorial 3 x 2 (cultivars x sowing periods, April and August). A randomized complete-block design, white Eive replications was used. The seeds presented low gennination (19-40%). 'Nacional Palmeira' had early flowering. The best sowing date was in autumn. 'Verdão' presented higher yield in the two sowing dates, and the cultivar Português, with two cuttings, provided the highest number of marketable bunches.
