About this variety
RCr-41 (Rajasthan Coriander-41) is a widely-grown coriander variety in Rajasthan, evaluated at institutions including ICAR-National Research Centre on Seed Spices, Tabiji, Ajmer, and S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. A directly-fetched agronomy page gives a duration of 130-140 days with reported yield around 12 q/ha, sown August-September for rainfed cultivation, harvested January-February, and needing dry, cool, frost-free weather especially during flowering and fruiting. Separately, one comparative trial reported it among the earliest-flowering varieties tested (50% flowering at 42.67 days) with a seed yield of 20.59 q/ha in a Uttar Pradesh trial — notably higher than the 12 q/ha figure from the agronomy page. No source checked this phase gave its exact parentage, developing institute, or release year.

Advantages & considerations
Why farmers may choose it
- Among the earliest-flowering coriander varieties in comparative trials (50% flowering at 42.67 days), useful where a compressed season demands quick turnaround
- Well-studied at multiple Rajasthan research institutions, giving reasonably reliable agronomic guidance even without a confirmed breeding record
Things to consider
- Reviewed 2026-08-15: yield figures conflict — a directly-fetched agronomy page gives ~12 q/ha while a separate comparative trial in Uttar Pradesh reported 20.59 q/ha. This is a modest, single-source-vs-single-source gap with no clear reason to prefer one figure over the other, so yieldPotential is deliberately left as-is pending stronger sourcing
- No source checked this phase gave RCr-41's parentage, developing institute, or release year

Frequently asked questions
When should RCr-41 coriander be sown?
August-September for rainfed cultivation, per a directly-fetched agronomy page, harvested January-February.
How fast does RCr-41 flower?
Among the fastest in a comparative trial — 50% flowering at 42.67 days.
What yield does RCr-41 give?
Sources disagree — around 12 q/ha per one agronomy page, but 20.59 q/ha in a Uttar Pradesh comparative trial. Neither was reconciled this phase; treat this record's own "Medium" band as the safer reference.
What weather does RCr-41 need?
Dry, cool, frost-free weather, especially during flowering and fruiting.
Who developed RCr-41 and when?
Not found — no source checked this phase gave its parentage, developing institute, or release year.
