TL;DR
This study developed a soil-based fertilizer model to improve coriander yield and quality in Alfisols through targeted nutrient management.
Contribution
A new soil test crop response (STCR) model with integrated farmyard manure for optimized coriander production in Alfisols.
Findings
STCR-based prescriptions with 7.5 t ha⁻¹ farmyard manure increased green foliage yield by 56.9%.
Improved nutrient uptake and quality metrics like phenols and ascorbic acid were observed.
The model enhanced nutrient use efficiency and value cost ratio compared to standard methods.
Abstract
A comprehensive three-year field study was conducted to develop and validate soil test crop response (STCR)–based nutrient prescription equations for coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in Alfisols. The research comprised three distinct experimental phases: a fertility gradient experiment, a main experiment, and a validation trial. Across these phases, over 72 soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed for nutrient content and compositional quality. The fertility gradient experiment established significant variability in soil NPK status using fodder maize as an indicator crop. In the main experiment, coriander plots subjected to varying fertility levels and nutrient management strategies—including farmyard manure (FYM) supplementation—were assessed for yield, nutrient uptake, and key quality metrics (total phenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid). Prescription equations targeting…
