Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Effect of water soluble fertilizers on yield and content and uptake of nutrient in coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)†was carried out under medium black clayey soil and slightly alkaline soil in reaction with pH 7.9 and EC 0.49 dSm-1 during rabi season of 2016-17 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The experiment consisting of 10 treatment combinations, comprising (T1) control, (T2) RDF + water spray, (T3) RDF + WSF (19:19:19), (T4) RDF + WSF (13:40:13), (T5) RDF + WSF (12:61:00), (T6) RDF + WSF (00:52:34), (T7) RDF + WSF (28:28:00), (T8) RDF + WSF (00:00:50:17.5 S), (T9) RDF + Urea and (T10) RDF + KNO3. Foliar spray of water soluble fertilizers (WSF), urea and KNO3 was done @ 2 per cent at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing. Recommended dose of fertilizers was applied at the time of sowing. These treatments were evaluated under randomized block design with 3 replications. The results of experiment indicated significant improvement in yield attributes viz., number of umbels per plant, number of umbellets per umbel, number of seed per umbel and seed, stover and biological yields was observed with the application of RDF 20:10 kg NP ha-1 + foliar application of WSF (19:19:19) @ 2 per cent over control and RDF + water spray. Significantly highest nitrogen content was obtained with the application of RDF + urea, phosphorus content with RDF + WSF (12:61:00) and potassium content with RDF + KNO3 in seed and stover, respectively while uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was significantly higher with the application of RDF 20:10 kg NP ha-1 + WSF (19:19:19) as compared to control. Significantly higher protein content in seed was recorded with the application of RDF 20:10 kg NP ha-1 + urea over control.
