In summer season, steam should be well soaked before sowing. And sow seeds on Wafsa Alya. Cilantro requires 60 to 80 kg seed per hectare. Before sowing, seeds need to be processed for good germination. Before sowing, break the coriander seeds and separate the seeds. Also, Dhanya seeds should be kept in a warm place in water for 12 hours before sowing and then used for planting. As a result, germination takes place in 8 to 10 days instead of 15 to 20 days, which increases the production of cilantro and helps in early harvesting.
