An experiment was conducted in RBD with 3 replications at Horticultural Research Station, BCKV, West Bengal to assess the influence of micronutrients with 12 treatments namely Boron (0.02, 0.05%), Zinc (0.1, 0.2%), B-(0.02%+Zn-0.1%), B-(0.02%+Zn-0.2%), B-(0.05%+ Zn-0.1%), B-(0.05%+ Zn-0.2%), Boron @1kg/ha (soil application), Zinc @ 5kg/ha (soil application), B@ 1kg/ha + Zn @ 5kg/ha (soil application) and with control (water spray) on growth and yield of coriander (Local cultivar). Vegetative growth characters namely plant height (75.10 cm), root length (9.94 cm), number of primary (7.87) and secondary (19.13) branches, number of umbellets/umbel (5.73), number of seeds/umbellet (5.46), number of seeds/umbel (28.73), number of umbels/plant (29.40) recorded highest with B @ 0.02% + Zn @ 0.1% treatment. The same treatment also recorded higher seed yield/ plant (20.54 g) and higher seed yield/ ha (16.54 q). Spraying with B-0.05%+ Zn-0.1%, also proved effective with respect to growth characters namely root length (9.65 cm), number of primary (7.73) and secondary (17.87) branches, number of umbellets/umbel (5.66), number of seeds/umbel (28.20), and various yield components namely seed weight per umbellet (0.063 g) and seed weight/umbel (0.35g). The results indicate that Boron and Zinc may be sprayed 45 days after sowing in coriander for better vegetative growth and yield at Gangetic plains of West Bengal.
