Coriander is an important spice crop and occupies a prime position in flavouring substances and is available throughout the year providing a fragrant flavour. Seed Spices are annual herbs, whose dried seed or fruits are used as spices. They are nature’s gift to mankind and add flavour to our food in addition to having preservative and medicinal value. So being considerate with the importance of Coriander, the present study emphasizes “Assessment of different priming methods on germination and quality parameters of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)” was undertaken with the objectives to assess the performance of different priming methods on improvement of germination and quality parameters in coriander and to identify the better responding priming method for coriander. The study was conducted in Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Seed Testing Laboratory, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, during 2019-2020. The experiment conducted was treated with different methods of priming for 12 hours and were shade dried in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications, and analysed for germination and quality parameters. The experiment showed the organic treatment i.e Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE) attained the highest value in germination and quality parameters. Hence, the results concluded that the organic priming treatment Moringa Leaf Extract (MLE 5%) was found to be better and can be effectively used as low cost, environmentally friendly, easily adaptable priming method by farmers.
