The experiment were laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising of eight Varieties viz., Kashmiri, Japani 57, Panth Haritha; Green King, Sughanda, Simco 55, Simco s 33, Simco with three replications. Based on the present investigation, it is concluded that the treatment Japani 57was found to be superior all-over other treatments with respect to Plant height at 90 DAS (100.11 cm), Number of leaves per plant at 90 DAS (62.67 cm), number of primary branches (10.58 ), number of secondary branches (18.95), no of flower per umbellet (8.43), no of umbellets per plant (239.63), days of 50% flowering (44.93), no .of seeds per umbel (28), seed yield per plant(g) (6.03), seed yield per plot (kg) (478.67),seed yield per ha (q) (22.03)ascorbic acid (mg/100 gm) (160.50)content and TSS (5.98°Brix) of coriander under agro-climatic condition of Prayagraj. Among all other treatments, Japani 57 has obtained Highest Gross return, Net return, and Benefit Cost ratio (1:1.68) which states that it is economically profitable compared to all other treatments.
