A field experiment entitled “Effect of different seed treatment on germination, growth and yield attributes of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in Bemetara district of Chhattisgarh” was conducted at the Department of Horticulture Nursery, Mohgaon, Saja, Bemetara (C.G.) during Zaid season 2024-25. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replications and eight treatments: T₀ (Control), T₁ (Tap water 12 hrs), T₂ (2% Calotropis leaf extract 12 hrs), T₃ (3% Azadirachta leaf extract 12 hrs), T₄ (GA₃ 50 ppm 12 hrs), T₅ (2% Calotropis leaf extract 12 hrs + Pseudomonas fluorescens), T₆ (3% Azadirachta leaf extract 12 hrs + Pseudomonas fluorescens), and T₇ (GA₃ 50 ppm 12 hrs + Pseudomonas fluorescens).Seed treatments significantly influenced emergence, germination, growth, yield, and economics. T₇ (GA₃ 50 ppm + P. fluorescens) recorded the earliest emergence, highest germination, maximum plant height, branches, fresh and dry weight, foliage yield, and net returns. T₆ and T₅ also performed well but were slightly inferior to T₇, while T₀ (Control) gave the lowest values. Thus, GA₃ 50 ppm seed soaking combined with P. fluorescens proved most effective and profitable for coriander
