Choose the optimum season and location to grow cilantro or dhania. These plants don’t fare well in cold or harsh weather. In a temperate area, late April is the ideal time to plant cilantro. It grows best during the colder, drier seasons of the year, like fall, in more tropical climates.

Form beds and canals and fine-tooth the main field (for irrigated crops). Place the separated seeds 20 x 15 cm apart. The seeds will begin to sprout in 8 to 15 days.

For crops that will be grown using rainwater, presowing seed hardening treatment. It is done with potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 10g/lit of water for 16 hours. Azospirillum should be applied to seeds in three packets per hectare. To manage the wilt disease, seeds must be treated with 4 g/kg of Trichoderma viride.

Soak the seeds in water for 12 hours. Treat the seeds with Azospirillum at 1.5 kg /ha. For better crop establishment + Trichoderma viride at 50 kg/ha to control wilt disease.

Pre-sowing seed hardening treatment with Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate at 10 g/lit of water. For 16 hours is to be done for the rainfed crop.

FYM 10 t/ha; 10 kg N, 40 kg P and 20 kg K for rainfed and irrigated crops.

Top dressing may be done at 10 kg N/ha 30 days after sowing for the irrigated crop only.

First irrigation should be given immediately after sowing. The second on the third day and subsequent irrigations at 7-10 days interval.

A pre-emergence spray of herbicide Fluchloralin 700 ml in 500 lit/ha.  Thinning is done 30 days after sowing. Subsequent weeding is done as and when necessary. Leave 2 plants per hill. Spray  250 ppm one month after sowing for inducing drought tolerance in rainfed crops

(0.3 m) away, 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) apart, and 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) apart. Make careful to water cilantro seeds often since they require a lot of moisture to sprout. Each week, they require roughly an inch of water. They ought to start growing in two to three weeks.

You may treat the seedlings with compost or organic fertilizer after they are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) tall. You only need approximately 1/4 of a cup of fertilizer for every 25 feet (7.6 m) of growing space, so be cautious not to over fertilize.

When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) tall, trim them out to prevent the cilantro plants from being too crowded. Remove the lesser plants, leaving the strongest ones to expand, and space each plant 8 to 10 inches (20.3 to 25.4 cm) apart. The smaller plants can be consumed and used in cooking.

When the stems are between 4 and 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) tall, or when the plant is close to the ground, you can harvest cilantro by snipping off individual leaves and stems from the plant’s base. Use the young, fresh shoots for cooking rather than the more mature, fern-like leaves, which have a harsh taste. To avoid weakening the plant, don’t remove more than one-third of the leaves at once.
