Abstract

The productivity of fenugreek is very low as it is often cultivated on marginal lands with poor management of soil fertility, irrigation, fertilizer and with little insect pest management. Further the seeds of improved varieties have limited availability; hence farmers are forced to use local materials for sowing which are variable in productivity and susceptible to various diseases. Considering the above points, there is a great scope to improve the productivity of this crop by varietal improvement and adopting the improved production technology in our country. The real yield potential of the crop can be exploited through varietal improvement program. Considering same present investigation, was conducted during the Rabi 2020-21 at Research farm Department of Horticulture, RAK College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.). This investigation was carried out on sixteen genotypes collected from different part of the country. The research experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with th

plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf area index, germination percentage, pods per plant, seed yield.

Conclusion

Thus it can be concluded from the result of present investigation that huge variation was noticed among the sixteen genotypes studied in this investigation for all the plant characteristics, growth and phenological parameters in fenugreek as well as yield parameters of fenugreek. The genotype Sehore-7 was found significantly superior as compared to all genotypes included in this study with respect to growth parameters, phenological parameters and yield parameters of fenugreek.
