ABSTRACT
The study of 150 fenugreek genotypes which were collected from five different agro-climatic zones for their yield and yield attributing traits revealed that there is a wide range of variability for the traits under study. The maximum plant height was recorded in HM-242 (121.23 cm), whereas the minimum plant height was recorded in HM-281-7-2 (67.07 cm). The highest number of primary branches per plant and secondary branches per plant was recorded in genotypes HM-242 (6.07) and HM-242 and HM-307 (12.53) respectively. The genotype HM- HM-300 (14.43 cm) recorded maximum pod length. And the maximum number of pods per plant and seeds per pod was recorded in HM-555 (164.40) and HM-509 (12.60). Highest yield per plant (26.2 g) and test weight (14.53 g) were observed in the genotype HM-242.
Key words: Fenugreek, Variability, yield, Yield attributing traits, Genotype.
