Performance of potential fenugreek genotypes for seed yield and its attributing traits in vertisols of Central India

Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken for three years 2015-16 to 2017-18 at Department of Horticulture, JNKVV, Jabalpur during Rabi season to identify high yielding fenugreek genotypes suitable for Central India. All the 16 genotypes which were selected for the experiment varied significantly with respect to growth, yield and yield attributing characters. Among tested genotype the DFC-17 was found superior with respect to growth parameters, Seed yield q/ha was highest in check RMt-361 (18.32q/ha) which was at par with RM-204 (17.29q/ha) and JFG-224 (16.66q/ha). The National Check RMt-361 was found to be the earliest and flowered in 43.78 days even it had maximum number of branches.
