Intelligent question .Hard seed coat reduce the germination by 50 - 70 % …so soak the seeds in water for 24 hours and then treat it in 100 PPM of Gibberellic acid ( GA 3 ) or NAA for 2 hours before sowing …It ensure good germination and crop cover
Spacing is 30 cms row to row and 10 cms seed to seed in a bed size of 3.5 M length and 1.5 M width dimension

Whole Coriander seeds will not germinate and hence the seeds are split open into halves before sowing.
Soak the seeds in water for 6-10 hours for better germination. Treat the coriander seeds with Azospirillum
& Trichoderma

Soil for good yield - loamy soil - soil that has sand, silt and clay particles in equal proportion …Other soil suitable for coriander cultivation is clay loam ( not clay soil ) sandy clay or sandy loam but not sandy soil
loam soil spacing is 30 cms by 10 cms and other soil - 40 cms by 10 cms spacing - row to row and seed to seed
Yield
Good agricultural practices ( Yied per acre ) - 5000 kgs
one kg of coriander leaves are sold @ Rs.15
For 5000 kgs , 5000 * Rs.15/ kg = Rs. 75,000
cost of cultivation
seeds - @ 10 kgs @ Rs.100 per kg = Rs.1000
ploughing and land preparation - Rs. 3000
Sowing and weeding - Rs. 3000
Thinning - Rs. 1000
Nutrients - Rs. 6000
Manure - Rs. 5000
Spray - Rs. 1000
Harvest and transport - Rs. 5000
Total cost of production and transportation - Rs.25,000
