Influence of seed treatments on growth and yield of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) 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 S1 (Cattle urine 100 ml/litre) 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. 3.58), maximum seedling height (6.48 cm), root length (avg. 3.47 cm), minimum number of days for harvest (avg. 8.31), maximum yield/m2 (avg. 769 g) was observed in treatment S1 (Cattle urine 100 ml/litre). The data recorded in present investigation revealed that seed treatment influenced the germination, growth and yield parameters of fenugreek microgreens.
