Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu
Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India during 2015
with an objective of studying the effect of growth
regulators and biostimulants on growth, physiology and
yield in leafy coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The
experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block
Design (FRBD) with sixteen treatments replicated thrice.
The results revealed that the growth parameters like plant
height (19.50 and 30.60 cm), number of primary branches
(5.90 and 12.83), number of leaves (20.12 and 43.82) and
physiological parameters like total chlorophyll content
(2.350 and 2.470 mg g1), leaf area (32.73 and 52.15
cm2), leaf area index (0.073 and 0.156) and leaf area
duration (0.47 and 1.15 days) at 35 and 45th Days After
Sowing (DAS) were recorded highest in the treatment
Combinations of Variety (CO CR-4) + Triacontanol 1 mL
L1 at 20, 30 and 40 days after sowing. The same
combination recorded the highest herbage yield
(3751 kg ha1) when compared to other treatments.
