Abstract:
A set of 208 germplasms of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) was evaluated in augmented randomized complete block design in four blocks and eight check varieties during Rabi 2016-17 at the research farm of S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the accessions and checks for all the characters except seeds per pod in checks. The highest percentage of PCV and GCV was observed for seed yield per plant, pods per plant, branches per plant, 1000-seed weight and plant height which indicates the presence of high amount of genetic variability for these characters. The high estimates of heritability along with high genetic advance were found for seed yield per plant, pods per plant, 1000-seed weight and plant height indicating predominance of additive gene effects for these traits. Hence, these characters were used for further improvement in yield of fenugreek.
