The research was conducted during the agricultural seasons 2016,2017 m in the Syrian
coast in Tartous governorate, the village of Beit Sheikh Yunus. To study the effect of
organic and chemical fertilization on some productive traits (number of flow
er/plant, fruit
weight /plant, weight of 1000 fruit gr, fruit yield Kg/h, harvest index%) of Coriander plant.
The lack of information about the cultivation of coriander plant in Syria prompted us
to study the effect of four plant densities (33.33،10، 13.33 and 20 plant/m2)، and four levels
of phosphate fertilization (0107.2،160.8، and 214.4 of Superphospha
te 46%) on some
productive and quality traits of the coriander plant. This study was carried out in Tartous
province during the growing season 2014، using Randomized Complete Block design with
a Split Plot arrangement of treatments. The Results revealed that there were significant
differences between the treatments for the whole traits، in addition to a significant
interaction between density and phosphate fertilization. Although the densities (10، 13.33
and 20 plant/m2) varied in their effect، they had superiority upon the
control(33،33)plant/m2، and the density 10 plant/m2 had more important effect in terms of
increasing each of: branches number/plant، seed weight/plant، seeds number/inflorescence،
protein content in plants and seeds and beta carotene and chlorophyll. However، the level
160.8k.g/h of P2O5 increased the number of inflorescences/plant، number of fruits/plant
and seed weight/ inflorescence.
