Performance of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) genotypes under new alluvial zone of West Bengal

Abstract

Eight fenugreek (Trigon ella foenum-graecum) genotypes namely, RMt-1, Rajendra Kranti, J. Fenu-195, HM-350, HM-346, Pusa Early Bunching, RMt-143 and UM-303 were evaluated against local cultivar for growth, yield and incidence.of root rot disease at Mondouri under the new alluvial zone of West Bengal. All characters, except primary branches planfl showed significant variation. Among the different genotypes, Rajendra Kranti exhibited superiority in terms of seed yield (10.67 q ha-1). Pusa Early Bunching was resistant to root rot disease.
