Nutrient dynamics of macro and micronutrients in coriander.

The information about the coriander nutrient management is scarce. This study aims to determine the dynamics of macro and micronutrients in coriander plants during its different phenological stages and growth seasons. The concentration of macro and micronutrients in seven phenological stages and some agronomic components were determined. The most required macronutrients were N (42.1-57.5 g plant-1), followed by K (42.5-53.8 g plant-1) and Ca (7.7-25.9 g plant-1). Mn (105.1-381 mg plant-1) and Fe (49.8-194.4 mg plant-1) were the micronutriments required in the highest amounts. The best plant height (56.4cm), fresh weight (226.7 g pta-1) and dry weight (30.7 g pta-1) was recorded in autumn-winter (A-W) (P ≤ 0.05), while oil content was from 7.62 to 8.12%.
