Nutrient Management in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) - Som Dutt - Bog

A field experiment entitled ¿Nutrient Management in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)¿ was conducted at Instructional Farm of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during rabi season of 2017-18 to find out suitable fertility levels for higher productivity of fenugreek, suitable source of organic manure with and without biofertilizer and economic viability of treatments. The experiment was conducted on clay loam soil which was slightly alkaline in reaction, low in available nitrogen (273.0 kg ha-1) and medium in available phosphorus (19.80 kg ha-1). The treatment comprising three levels of inorganic sources viz. I1: 50% RDF (N20 P20), I2: 75% RDF (N30 P30) and I3: 100% RDF (N40 P40) and five levels of organic sources viz. O1: FYM 10 t ha-1, O2: Vermicompost 5 t ha-1, O3: Rhizobium + Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB), O4: Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB and O5: FYM 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB were evaluated in factorial randomized block design with three replications on fenugreek variety ¿Pratap Raj Methi-45¿. The results of the research are discussed in this thesis in details.
