Effect of phosphorus and farmyard manure on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum)
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabr) season of 1996 97 and 1997 98 at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, to study the effect of farmyard manure (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnestha) and phosphorus (0, 20,40 and 60 kgtha) on 2 fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) genotypes ( HM 65 and NLM ). Genotype NLM was significantly superior to HM 65 in terms of more number of branchestplant, podstplant and seedstpod. These yield attributes resulted in higher seed and straw yields of IVLM . However, non significant differences were observed for nutrient uptake between both the genotypes. Each successive dose of FYM up to 15 tonnestha sig nificantly increased the number of branches, podstplant, seedstpod, seed straw, and biological yields and nutrient uptake over their lower doses. Increasing levels of phosphorus up to 40 kg P,O,/ha significantly increased the yield attributing characters, seed yield and quality parameters of fenugreek.
