Abstract:
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn) is an important leafy vegetable crop and is also used as a spice crop in the world which is belonging to Fabaceae family. India is the top producer of fenugreek in the world. Fenugreek is an herb which is commonly found to be growing in the Mediterranean region. Fenugreek has the highest genetic diversity in the Indian subcontinent compared to the rest of the world, and is widely grown in these regions. Knowledge of genetic variability, heredity, genetic progression, correlation, and path coefficient is very essential as well as genetic diversity of various quantitative and qualitative traits and their effects on herb and seed yield in order to keep progressing in fenugreek crop. Studies in this area cannot be predicted for every genetic variation and environmental circumstance. Therefore, the details given below can facilitate in creating a strong fenugreek breeding plan.
