The experiments were carried out during 2009 and 2010 to evaluate possibilities of growing coriander in a system of organic agriculture. For this purpose, the following biological fertilizers were used: Bactofil B-10, Slavol, Royal Offer granules - biohumus, vermicompost and multicomponent chemical fertilizer NPK in the rate of 15:15:15. The tests were performed in the experimental field in Ostojićevo, 24 km away from Kikinda (North Banat, Serbia). The aim of this study was to determine the amount of grain yield, oil content and its essential ingredient linalol. In the first year, we found significant changes in the yield level using biological and chemical fertilizer (control: 1767 kg/ha to 1966 kg/ha, NPK), while in the second year recorded yields were uniform (control: 2443 kg/ha to 2518 kg/ha, NPK). In both years, a higher grain yield was recorded on plots where NPK fertiliser was applied. A relatively higher content of essential oil, as well as, linalol in essential oil (both years) were recorded in plots fertilized with vermicompost (1.15% essential oil and 64.62% linalol). Meteorological conditions were more favorable in the second year of investigation, which resulted in increased grain yield in all treatments. However, the essential oil content and linalool was not significantly changed.
