Coriander is one of the most essential spices in India. Coriander's extended germination period often delays crop establishment. The largest coriander-producing country, India must explore innovative agronomic practices to accelerate early growth and enhance overall productivity. So, a field experiment was conducted at Sagdividi Farm, Department of Seed Science and Technology, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, during the Rabi season of 2023-24 to evaluate the effects of orgopriming and foliar spray treatments on the growth and yield attributes of coriander variety Gujarat Coriander-3 (GC-3). The experiment was designed in a factorial randomized block design (FRBD), comprising six priming agents with control and three foliar spray treatments with a control, applied at 35 and 55 DAS (days after sowing). The results indicated that orgopriming with tender coconut water significantly increased field emergence by 25.37 %, plant height by 19.62 %, number of umbels per plant by 23.99 %, number of umbellate per umbel by 21.04 %, number of seeds per umbellate by 25.06 %, number of seeds per umbel by 19.58 %, 1000 seed weight by 12.04 %, seed yield per plant by 15.13 % and reduced number of days to 50 % flowering by 12.38 % as compared to control. Foliar spraying with Jivamrut (10 %) significantly increased plant height by 5.80 %, number of umbels per plant by 8.98 %, number of umbellates per umbel by 8.75 %, number of seeds per umbellate by 19.38 %, number of seeds per umbel by 12.02 %, 1000-seed weight by 8.57 % and seed yield per plant by 9.42 % compared to the control. The interaction of Bijamrut (10 %) priming and Jivamrut (10 %) foliar spraying produced the highest plant height with an increase of 40.48 % compared to control. Therefore, priming coriander seeds with tender coconut water and foliar application of Jivamrut (10 %) can enhance seed yield and its related traits.
