Response of fenugreek (Trigonella-foenum-graecum) to different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus

Abstract

An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2014-15, to study the “Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and seed yield of fenugreek” at the Main garden, University Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Twelve treatment combinations were formed with a view to integrate four nitrogen doses and three phosphorus doses. The allocation of treatments was made by random method. On the basis of results obtained in the present investigation, that growth parameters viz., plant height and number of branches were significantly better with application of 100 kg N + 60 kg P per hectare. Whereas, the seed yield per hectare was observed significantly maximum with application of the treatment of 80 kg N + 60 kg P per hectare.
