In folk medicine coriander is used as an antiseptic and cholagogue, colds, to enhance the appetite, improve sleep and reduce blood pressure.

Coriander is especially sensitive to the security of plant by nitrogen, phosphorus and microelements. Lack of nutrients in coriander plants appears visually: lower leaves are pale green, greenish-yellow, thin stems, woody and fibrous, delayed flowering and fruit set. Unbalanced nitrogen nutrition and coriander growing on soils poor of micronutrients (molybdenum, iron, copper, manganese, boron, and sulfur) leads to increasing the nitrate content in green products.

Recommendations for conducting of foliar feeding of coriander by complex fertilizers

* This feeding is conducted in phase of budding for plants, that are being grown for seed purposes, and on the crops, where the main product – is green leaves, gathering of green products before budding phase is made and after each cut with the purpose of faster regrowth of green mass is conducted, using «ROSTOK» Macro of 2-3 l/ha.

Consumption rate of working solution 200-300 l/ha.

For demand, it is recommended to use «ROSTOK» Molybdenum and «ROSTOK» Manganese.
