About this variety
Public documentation naming this variety specifically as "Pusa Coriander 4" could not be located in this research pass, despite checking ICAR-IARI’s own variety pages, its ztmbpd technology-transfer and pusabeej seed portals, and a wide set of seed-trade and farm-journalism sources. IARI, New Delhi’s best-documented dual-purpose (leaf-and-seed) coriander release remains Pusa 360, an older, widely cited variety with high volatile-oil content — consistent in spirit with this record’s own note about a dual-purpose, higher-oil release, but that similarity is not proof the two names refer to the same variety, and no source found actually connects "Pusa Coriander 4" to Pusa 360 or vice versa. Given that, this record’s duration, yield and disease-tolerance fields are treated here as the best available information rather than independently re-verified.

Advantages & considerations
Things to consider
- No fetchable primary source (IARI’s own variety catalogue, ztmbpd technology-transfer pages, pusabeej seed portal) or independently corroborated secondary source could be found naming "Pusa Coriander 4" specifically — a thinner data situation than most records in this rollout, closer to Phase 10’s G4 (Guntur) chilli case than to a well-documented release
- This record’s dual-purpose leaf-and-seed positioning is consistent with IARI’s broader Pusa coriander breeding line (best known through Pusa 360), but no source found actually confirms Pusa Coriander 4 as part of, or descended from, that specific line

Frequently asked questions
Is Pusa Coriander 4 a well-documented ICAR variety?
Not as far as this research pass could confirm — no fetchable IARI page or independently corroborated secondary source named it specifically, unlike most other IARI releases checked in this rollout. Treat the specifics on this page with that caveat.
Is Pusa Coriander 4 the same as Pusa 360?
No source found connects the two names directly. Pusa 360 is IARI’s best-documented dual-purpose coriander release; this record’s similar dual-purpose framing may simply reflect the same broader breeding programme rather than the same variety.
