India is the largest producer and consumer of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in the world, with
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat as major production centres. However, farmers of these regions
often suffer from crop losses due to problems of salt affected soil and use of poor quality groundwater with
high RSC (Residual Sodium Carbonate) and Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) for irrigation. Due to increased
interest in the utilization of sodic water with/without prior reclamation for irrigation, there is a need for
information on sodicity tolerance of various economically important plants including seed spices; that could
be recommended for growing in areas where sodic groundwater is being used for irrigation. The present
study was carried out to evaluate the suitability of coriander under water qualities varying in RSC for
irrigation in the lysimeter facilities at the ICAR-Central Soil Salinity Research Institute-Karnal, Haryana. The
experiment consisted of irrigating the crop with normal irrigation water (RSC nil), 2.5 meL-1 RSC water, 5 me
L-1 RSC water, RSC 5 meL-1 + gypsum (to neutralize 2.5 meqL-1 RSC) and RSC 5 meL-1 + sulphur (to neutralise
2.5 meL-1 RSC). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications in lysimeters
of 2x2x2 m3 size. The crop was grown with standard agronomic practices. The study indicated that
application of RSC water affected the germination, growth, development and yield of coriander compared to
irrigation with normal water. The highest germination percentage was recorded in control plots (78.9%) and
the lowest in plots treated with RSC meL-1 5 water (43.3%). The maximum decrease in growth and yield with
delayed development and highest stress as observed by the membrane injury index was recorded in plants
treated with RSC 5 meL-1 water. The seed yield (11.38 q ha-1) obtained with fresh water (control) decreased
to 10.25, 9.56 and further to 6.85 q ha-1 with RSC 5 meL-1+ gypsum, RSC 5 meL-1 + sulphur and RSC 5 meL-1 +sulphur RSC 5 meL-1, respectively. Plants treated with RSC 5 meL-1+ gypsum(to neutralize2.5 meL-1 RSC)performed better than that treated with RSC 5 meL-1 + sulphur(to neutralize 2.5 meL-1 RSC); as indicated by parameters like growth, dry matter production, membrane injury and seed yield of the crop.
