Effect of growing media on germination, growth and yield of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum L.) microgreens

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted at No. 4 Nursery, College of Horticulture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri, during the academic year 2024-25. The results of the experiment have revealed that treatment M3 [Soil+ cocopeat (1:1)] found superior in growth parameters like days for germination, seedling height, root length while yield parameters like days required for harvest and yield/m2. Minimum number of days required for germination (avg. 3.43), maximum seedling height (7.46 cm), root length (avg. 3.83 cm), minimum number of days for harvest (avg. 8.15), maximum yield/m2 (avg. 863.65 g) was observed in treatment M3 [Soil+ cocopeat (1:1)]. The data recorded in present investigation revealed that growing media influenced the germination, growth and yield parameters of fenugreek microgreens.
