Harvesting and Yield

• Coriander matures within 100 – 150 days of sowing.
• It is harvested when whole plant turns yellow or brownish yellow.
• Leaf plucking (50%) 75 days after sowing helps to generate extra income.
• Harvesting of seed is done either uprooting the whole plant or cutting the plant.
• After harvesting small bundles are made and spread in shade to dry for 2 – 3 days.
• The seed (fruits) are then separated by light beating with stick and winnowing.

Storage

• After threshing fruits are dried under partial shade.
• After complete drying, they are sieved properly.
• Clean and dry seed are filled in bags and are stored in damp free aerated stores.
