Abstract: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), is an important annual herb belongs to the Fabaceae family and it is one of the important leafy vegetable cum spice crop. Its leaves and seeds have been extensively used for medicinal purposes. In this study, thirty seven genotypes of fenugreek were planted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and evaluated for sixteen different traits viz., number of primary branches per plant, number of leaves per plant at 30 DAS, number of leaves per plant at 45 DAS, number of leaves per plant at 60 DAS, plant height, days to first flowering, node of first flowering, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to seed maturity, number of pods per plant, pod length, pod width, number of seeds per pod, thousands seed weight, green leaf yield per plant and seed yield per plant. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed highly significant differences among the studied genotypes for all the traits, suggesting the presence of substantial level of genetic variations among all the genotypes. High GCV, PCV, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for characters like number of leaves per plant at 45 days after sowing, number of leaves per plant at 60days after sowing, number of pods per plant, thousands seed weight, leaf yield per plant and seed yield per plant which indicates that these traits were govern by additive genes and selection will be highly effective for these quantitative traits.
