Coriander seeds were matriconditioned with MicroCel-E and osmoconditioned in PEG solution and then treated or not treated with fungicide. The microbiological infestation of conditioned and control seeds were on a similar level. Both tested conditioning methods increased significantly the seed and seedling vigour, whereas fungicide application had no effect. The only significant differences between matriconditioning and osmoconditioning were found in leaf DNA content. The advantageous effect of presowing conditioning was proved also with respect to coriander seed yield, oil content, and oil yield. Depending on the location of field experiments, the coriander crop from osmoconditioned and matriconditioned seeds responded in a different pattern of yielding. The same concerned the fungicide application. The tested methods of presowing treatments did not change the quality and quantity composition of coriander oil significantly.
