ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to compare the relative advantages of different row spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) and nitrogen applications (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1) in coriander cultivation in terms of yield and quality characteristics in province of Van, Turkey. Row spacings had similar impact on the average fruit per umbel and umbel per plant but significantly differed for average plant height (p<0.05). The number of umbels per plant were significantly higher for N1 (30 kg N ha-1) those of other doses. There were no significantly differences among nitrogen doses for average plant height and umbel per plant. As an average over nitrogen doses the 30 cm. row spacing was superior to the 20 and 40 cm in terms of seed and biological yields. The 1000 fruit weights were not affected from the row spacings. However, the nitrogen doses differed in their effects on seed yield and showed similar gain in biological yield 1000 fruits weight. No significant effect of N applications was found on the hay yield and yield index in coriander. However, significant effect of row spacings was found for the hay yield (p<0.05). The highest was found for the 30 cm. row spacing with an average of 954.10 kg ha-1.
