Agronomic Technology for Production of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) Seeds

ABSTRACT

The agronomic technology of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) during the 1991–1992 and 1992–1993 growing seasons were studied at the Students Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India. Results indicated highest yields were obtained when fenugreek was sown during the last week of October to the first week of November in rows 22.5 cm apart using 30 kg seed per hectare. The plant has meager nitrogen requirements and does not respond to phosphorus application on soils rich in this element.
