The field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm, College of Agriculture, S.K. Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner during rabi seasons of 2009-10 and 2010-11 to see the effect of vermicompost, N and P levels on growth and yield parameters of coriander. Twenty seven treatment combinations i.e. three levels of vermicompost (control, 2.5 and 5.0 t ha(-1)), three levels of nitrogen (control, 40 and 80 kg ha(-1)) as main plot treatment and three levels of phosphorus (control, 20 and 40 kg P2O5 ha(-1)) as sub plot treatment were laid out in split plot design with three replications. From the results, among all the treatment combinations application of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 with N level @ 40 kg/ha and P level 20 kg/ha significantly increased all the growth and yield parameters viz., plant height, dry weight per plant at different growth stages, number of branches and umbels per plant, seeds per umbel, test weight, seed, stover and biological yield of coriander. Use of this best combination can enhance the coriander yield in major part of the arid and semi-arid region of Rajasthan.
