Abstract

The present experiment conducted during Rabi season of the year 2019-2020 at Main Experiment Station of Department of Vegetable Science Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (Ayodhya) Uttar Pradesh, India. Observation was recorded for growth and yield attributes traits and found that highly significant and positive correlation with length of pod was showed by seed yield plant-1 whereas days to maturity, 1000-seed weight, and days to 50% flowering showed highly significant and negatively correlation with seed yield per plant. Whereas direct and indirect effect at both phenotypic and genotypic level elucidated that days to 50% flowering have substantial positive direct effect on seed yield plant-1 while negative direct effect was exhibited by days to maturity followed by 1000 seed weight and seeds pod-1. Regarding indirect contribution days to maturity via days to 50% flowering and secondary branches plant-1 via days to maturity inhibited substances position and negative effects respectively thus, selection of length of pod and days to 50% flowering should take into consideration during selection in yield input. Major objective of this study was to evolve new varieties with higher yield and its attributing traits. Improvement made in crop varieties is mainly concentrated on increasing yield and yield attributing characters.

Conclusion

With the help of finding observation it can be concluded that there exists ample variation within the germplasm of fenugreek. Out of seventy five genotypes, entries NDM-97, NDM-116, NDM-1, NDM-37, NDM-137, NDM-20, NDM-57, NDM-76, NDM-14 and NDM-132 were found superior for seed yield per plant and after proper testing through multi-locational yield trials these are may be recommended for cultivation on large scale among the farmers and can be utilize as donors in breeding programme. Crossing between genotypes of cluster VIII and cluster VI may give rise desirable F1/segregates in future.
