EFFECT OF MICRONUTRIENTS ON SEED PRODUCTION OF FENUGREEK (Trigonella foenum graecum L.)

Abstract

The experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2019-20 consisted of eleven treatments with three replications laid out in randomized block design. The effect of different micronutrient on fenugreek crop showed that treatment T6 (RDF+Fe@2%) exhibited highest values for seed yield (12.32 q/ha), number of seeds per pod (18.73) and root length (18.97 cm). The other treatment viz., T5 (RDF+Fe@1%) showed maximum values for number of leaves per plant and number of pods per plant which is 210.73 and 102.20 respectively. Treatment T7 ([email protected]%) showed maximum values for fresh weight and dry weight of plant which is 93.31 and 39.51 respectively. Treatment T4 ([email protected]%) showed maximum value for plant height which is 89.47 cm, T9 ([email protected]%) showed maximum value for pod length which is 11.95 cm. T1 ([email protected]%) showed maximum values for number of branches per plant i.e., 7.00 and T11 (RDF) test weight which is 11.27 g.
