Abstract: Experiments were conducted to quantify the effect of various rates of a triterpenic-rich extract from Siberian fir ( Abiessibirica ) (TTA), acetylthioproline (AP), a seaweed ( Ascophyllum nodosum ) extract (CSE), gibberellic acid 3 (GA), and a glycine-rich commercial mixture of amino acids and short-chain peptides (APC) on coriander ( Coriandrum sativum ) seed yield. Aqueous solutions of GA, TTA, CSE, APC, and AP were sprayed on the crop leaves at 21 and 35 days after crop emergence. GA did not increase coriander seed yield as compared to the control. At the rate of 300 mg·L -1 , TTA increased seed yield by about 9%. The highest seed yield increase was found in plants treated with CSE (60 mg·L -1 ), AP (250 mg·L -1 ), and APC (1200 mg·L -1 ), in which seed yield increased by about 14%. These results indicate that APC, AP, TTA, and CSE, but not GA, may be useful in increasing coriander seed yield.
