Abstract: The present study was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Mandouri, Faculty of Horticulture, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal during the year 2014-15 and 2015-16 to evaluate twelve genotypes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The results indicated the predominant leaf colour was green (58.33%) followed by dark green (41.66%). All the germplasm showed medium basal lobing and trifoliate. The essential oil yield was low in all variety. Arka Isha yields the highest (0.36%) essential oil. The maximum value of oleoresin content was observed in NRCS A.Cr-1 (12.87%) followed by Suvashini. On the other hand the minimum oleoresin was found with the germplasm Assam collection (3.26). Seed yield/plant in different germplasms ranged from 6.17 g in Pant Haritma to 1.15 g in Manipur collection-2. Yield per plot was found highest in Pant Haritma (445.37 g) followed by NRCS A.Cr-1 (384.33 g). Projected yield per ha is concerned highest yield was obtained in Pant Haritma (22.27 q/ha) whereas Manipur collection-1 recorded the least of (7.75 q/ha). On the basis of good performance with Essential oil and oleoresin content, the genotype Arka Isha and NRCS A.Cr-1 respectively can be considered as the most suitable for quality aspects.
