Determination of agronomic and quality properties of coriander cultivar, line and populations in Siirt conditions

This research was carried out to determine agronomic and quality characteristics of some coriander (Coriandrumsativum L.) cultivar, line, and populations during 2016-2017 vegetation period under Siirt conditions. Hat Telci line, Siirt and Irak populations, and Arslan, Gürbüz, Gamze, Erbaa, Kudret-K, and Pel-Mus coriander cultivars were used as plant material.In the research, the trial was set up according to randomized complete blocks experimental design with four replicates. In the study, phenological parameters such as; number of days to germination, to first flowering, to 50% flowering and vegetation period, plant length, number of branches, number of umbels, number of umbellates, biological yield, seed yield, harvest index, thousand fruit weight, essential oil content, essential oil yield and essential oil components were investigated. Statistically significant differences were observed between genotypes in terms of all parameters examined.According to the result, germination time (day), first flowering time (day), 50%flowering time (day), vegetation period (day), plant height,number of branches, number of umbels, number of umbellates, biologic yield, fruit yield, harvest index, thousand fruit weight, essential oil rate, essential oil yield and essential oil compositionwere changed between 17.0-23.0 (day), 135-144 (day), 145-154 (day), 196-220 (day), 39.0-78.4 cm, 6.31-9.52 number, 4.25-5.75 number, 3500.3-7055.90 kg ha-1, 1035.0-1846.0 kg ha-1, 18.88-31.23%, 6.75-12.55 g, 0.26-0.61%, 3.0-9.0 L ha-1, and 71.10-89.04%, respectively.According to these results, under the climate and soil conditions of Siirt; "Gamze" coriander cultivar was suggested for fruit and essential oil yield.
