The Spices Board of India and DBT-SABC Biotech Kisan Hub in collaboration with ICAR-NRCSS, RSAMB and Kota Agriculture University organized the World of Coriander webinar on 4th January 2020.
- The webinar was held on ‘Accelerating Quality Production, Post-Harvesting, Value Addition & Export of Coriander from India’.
- The Hadoti region of South-East Rajasthan and Guna district of Madhya Pradesh is known for coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) production and contributes major share in coriander export from the country.
- Participants advocated popularization of disease resistance varieties such as RKD-18 and ACR-1 to overcome the menace of stem gall (longia) disease, which is becoming an extreme concern for farmers resulting in the contraction of planting of coriander in Hadoti region in recent years.
- Madhya Pradesh (56%) and Rajasthan (19%) are two largest producing states in India.
