Abstract: Madhya Pradesh is the leading state in area and production of seed coriander especially in the vertisols of Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hill agroclimatic zone. A study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of twenty eight ellite coriander genotypes for seed yield at JNKVV, Jabalpur from 2015-16 to 2017-18. Results revealed that significant difference among the genotypes indicating adequate variability in the material and response to selection may be accepted in the breeding programme for seed yield or any of its supporting characters under study. The seed yield in coriander genotype JD(Sl)-1 was found to be significantly superior to both the check varieties Hissar Anand and RCr-728. Maximum seed yield 6.28g/plant was reported in JD (Sl)-1 which was at par with WFPS 48.2 and ICS-4 with 5.97 and 5.60g seeds/plant respectively. However, the highest per cent increase in seed yield (24.71%) over the check variety of was noticed with coriander genotype JD(Sl)-1 from Jabalpur.
