The field study was conducted during the Rabi season in 2023-2024 at the Chilli and Vegetable Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra, India. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design with fifteen genotypes and three replications to find out how seed yield is related to other traits. The results showed that seed yield per hectare had a positive and significant relationship with 1000 seed weight, number of umbellate per umbel, number of seeds per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, number of primary branches per plant, number of umbels per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, and umbel diameter. When looking at the path coefficient analysis, days to maturity had the highest direct effect on seed yield, followed by 1000 seed weight, number of secondary branches per plant, number of umbellate per umbel and number of seeds per umbellate. Therefore, when choosing plants for higher seed yield in coriander, more attention should be given to these characteristics.
