Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2017-18 at the Horticulture Research Farm, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (M.P.) to study the response of sulphur and zinc on growth, yield and quality of Coriander. The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD with three replications including four levels of sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S/ha) and four levels of zinc (0, 2, 4 and 6 kg Zn/ha). Results showed that sulphur application at 45 kg/ha and 6 kg Zn/ha recorded significantly increased Umbels plant^-1 (43), biology yield (44.96 q ha^-1), seed yield (19.59 q ha^-1), gross return (Rs. 88155 ha^-1), net returns (Rs. 70570 ha^-1) and B:C ratio (4.01) over control and treatment T₅. It was concluded that independent application of 45kg sulphur as soil application during sowing and soil application of zinc at 6kg/ha is recommended as these treatments fetched significantly higher economic net return and higher yield from coriander.
