- Abstract
The field experiment was conducted with 'Plume 55' fenugreek during the winter season (rabi) of 2015-16 and 2016- 17 at Farmer field Ikchhawar, District Sehore (M.P.), India. The soil had pH 7.7, electrical conductivity 0.30dS/m, organic carbon 0.48%, available N 210 Kg/ ha, available P 12 kg/ha and available K 485 kg/ha. The treatments consisted of 5 grated levels of N (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 kg/ha) through urea and 4 graded levels of P (0, 20, 30 and 40 kg/ha) through single superphosphate along with basal application of Potassium @ 30 kg muriate of potash. Fenugreek seeds were treated with rhizobium species suitable for fenugreek. Each treatment was replicated 3 times in randomized block design. The crop was seeded during the second fortnight of October and harvested for seed during the first fortnight of March in each year. Irrigation was done at 25 day interval during the crop period. The first cutting was done 25-30 days after sowing and the second cutting 45 days after sowing. Total 2 cuttings were taken each year. Seed yield was recorded plot wise and relative yield was worked out. The plant samples were collected at time of crop harvest and analyzed as per standard methods to determine nutrient composition in the form of NPK & S. It was concluded that the application of 60 kg N/ha, 40 kg P/ha along with bio-fertilizer increased the nutrient composition (NPK & S) and seed yield of fenugreek.
