The field experiment was conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, during the Rabi seasons of 2023-24 and 2024-25. This study examined the impact of various seed priming techniques on the growth parameters of the Coriander variety Azad Dhania-1. A randomized block design was used in this experiment with three replications. The following treatments were used for the study, viz. T0- Control, T1- hydropriming for 24 hours soaking, T2-Vermi wash 15% for 24 hours soaking, T3- Cow urine 20% for 24 hours soaking, T4- Panchgavya 15% for 24 hours soaking, T5-Humic acid 20% for 24 hours soaking, T6-GA3 50 ppm for 24 hours soaking, T7-NAA 50 ppm for 24 hours soaking, T8- Cytokinin 100 ppm for 16 hours soaking, T9- KNO3 3% for 16 hours soaking, and T10-NaCl 0.5% for 16 hours soaking. The best results were obtained in T5 for field emergence 83.33 % (65.90), days to 50% flowering (88.50 days), plant height (114.19 cm), and Days to Maturity (127.33 days). The lowest field emergence (71.00%) was observed in T8, while the highest days to 50% flowering (95.50 days), days to maturity (131.50 days), and lowest Plant height (101.54 cm) were observed in T0-Control in the pooled. According to the findings, priming with humic acid and then Panchgavya and KNO3 will promote higher emergence (%), plant height and early flowering while shortening the maturity period.
