Abstract:
The current examination was laid out using 30 fenugreek genotypes at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, Udaipur during Rabi, 2020-2021 in randomized block design with three replication. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for the characters under study indicating presence of sufficient variability among the genotypes. Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV) was somewhat higher than the respective Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) for all the character reflecting that the environment had little effect on the characters. Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was highest for number of pods per plant followed by number of branches per plant, seed yield per plant, biological yield per plant and harvest index. The high heritability estimates coupled with high genetic gain for number of branches per plant, protein %, and 100 seed weight.
