Raipur Expert Reveals Bumper Earnings Formula: Best Coriander Cultivation Tips

• Krishi Vigyan Kendra Raipur provides scientific guidance for profitable spice and green vegetable cultivation in Chhattisgarh.
• Dr. Manoj Kumar Sahu advises farmers to use certified seeds like 'Chandrahassini Dhaniya-2' and 'Chhattisgarh Dhaniya-1' from Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur, for better yields and lower costs.
• Timely weed control is crucial, as weeds like Chinori and Bathua can significantly reduce coriander production.
• Line sowing with specific spacing (30 cm row-to-row, 10 cm plant-to-plant) ensures better growth and seed size, preventing small seeds and disease risk.
• Coriander requires minimal fertilization; DAP can be sprayed as needed, and a 20-25% urea solution after hoeing improves growth.

Why It Matters: Adopting scientific methods and certified seeds can significantly boost coriander yield and farmer income.
