Main Article Content
Abstract
The results showed that spraying vermicompost tea at various dilutions significantly gave better growth, yield, and essential oil parameters than the untreated plants. Biofertilization also resulted in considerably more significant vegetative growth, yield, and oil measures than the control. According to treatments, linalool was the main component of fruit essential oil, with a range of 72.91 to 77.54%. This study advised organic growers to spray coriander with prepared vermicompost tea at a 1:4 v/v dilution and apply biofertilization as a soil drench throughout the vegetative development stage to enhance all attributes.
