ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the production of fresh coriander biomass in a protected environment in different countries under different growing conditions. However, as Anderson and Jia point out, the investment in a structure to protect from the adverse environment for cultivation of coriander is justified because it is a short cycle crop, varying between 50 and 60 days for the production of fresh biomass. To mitigate adverse effects of unfavorable weather, the cultivation of coriander in a protected environment has been increasingly recurrent, not only in research but also in commercial production. The chapter concludes that there is great potential for growing coriander in a protected environment, thus ensuring regularity in the production of fresh biomass throughout the year. A database regarding the production of fresh coriander biomass per unit area was generated from the compendium of several studies conducted under different climatic conditions, which may serve as support in future consultations for implementing coriander cultivation in a protected environment.
