Abstract: The present investigation was executed at Main Experiment, Station of Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, during Rabi 2016-17. A set of 124 germplasm of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) was evaluated in augmented block design in fourblocks with four check varieties to determine nature of variability, heritability and genetic advance. Observations were recorded on 10 quantitative characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, primary branches per plant, secondary branches per plant, pods per plant, length of pods, seeds per pod, 1000-seed weight and seed yield per plant. The analysis of variancerevealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters except days to maturity. Based on mean performance most promising genotypes viz., NDM-98, NDM-120, NDM-117, NDM-58, NDM-96, NDM-101, NDM-106, NDM-71, NDM-77 and NDM-116 were found as most promising genotypes for high yield per plant. High magnitude of variability was observed in case of seed yield per plant followed by pods per plants, secondary branches per plant, primary branches per plant, length of pods, 1000 seeds weight, plant height and seeds per pod.The high estimates of heritability was observed in Seed yield per plan followed by primary branches per plant, pods per plants, secondary branches per plants, length of pods, plant height. Seeds per pods, 1000 seeds weight and days to 50% flowering. Moderate genetic advance observed in plant height and pods per plan while low genetic advamce recorded for rest of traits.
