About this variety
RCr-684 was released by Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), Jagudan, per corroborated secondary sources — a real naming/identity tension worth flagging: despite its "RCr" (Rajasthan Coriander) code, the releasing institute given by sources is a Gujarat university station, not a Rajasthan one. It is resistant to stem gall and less susceptible to powdery mildew, adapted to medium-heavy-textured soil and sandy loam under irrigation, with bold seeds. Reported maturity is 90-100 days with a yield of 1,100 kg/ha — the same figures reported for RCr-436 in sources checked this phase, raising the possibility of a source mix-up between the two records, though this wasn't independently resolved.

Pest & disease considerations
Advantages & considerations
Why farmers may choose it
- Dual disease protection — resistant to stem gall and less susceptible to powdery mildew, matching this record's own field plus an additional confirmed trait
- Bold seed size, valued in the seed trade
Things to consider
- Reviewed 2026-08-15: naming/identity tension — this record's "RCr" code suggests a Rajasthan Coriander origin, but corroborated secondary sources attribute its release to Gujarat Agricultural University, Jagudan. Its sourced maturity (90-100 days) and yield (1,100 kg/ha) also exactly match the figures sourced for RCr-436, suggesting a likely source mix-up between the two records rather than a confirmed fact about RCr-684 itself. Left as-is pending a source that clearly and independently attributes figures to RCr-684
