dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Effect of cuttings and different fertilizer doses on green leaf and seed yield in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)” was carried out in cv. IC-74 and experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (Factorial) with three replications of each treatment combinations (Cutting x Fertilizer doses) at Seed Science Research Farm, Pandah of the Department of Seed Science and technology, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during Rabi 2016. The treatments comprised of three cuttings viz., C0 (No cutting), C1 (one cutting) and C2 (two cuttings) and four different fertilizer doses viz., F0 (Recommended doses of NPK), F1 (1/2 N, recommended P and K as basal dose and ½ N after one month of basal dose), F2 (1/3 N, recommended P and K as basal dose and 1/3rd N at one month of basal dose and 1/3 N after one month of previous dose), F3 (1/2 N, recommended P and ½ K as basal dose and ½ N, ½ K at flowering). The observations were recorded on leaf yield per plot (kg) and per hectare (quintals), seed yield per plot (kg) and per hectare (quintals), plant height (cm),number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, days to 50% flowering, days to 1st leaf cutting, pod length, number of seed pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, Seed Index, seed germination percentage (%), seedling length (cm), seedling dry weight (mg), SVI-I and SVI-II. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the treatment combinations .Treatment C2F3 (two cuttings and1/2 N, recommended P and ½ K as basal dose and ½ N, ½ K at flowering) was highly significant for recording highest leaf yield (111.11q/ha), number of leaves per plant (27.43) and number of branches (13.03) and was found to be best and significantly superior over all other treatments. Similarly, treatment COF3 (no cutting and ½ N, recommended P, ½ K as basal application and ½ N, ½ K at flowering) was significantly superior over all other combinations in recording highest seed yield (10.88 q/ha) and component quality traits like pod length (11.79 cm), number of seeds per pod (16.84), Seed Index (8.49 g), seed germination percentage (95.16%), seedling length (24.00 cm), seedling dry weight (82.16 mg), SVI-I (2284.00) and SVI-II (7819.75).en_US
