Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of the year 2016-17 on loamy sand soil at College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat to study the “Influence of integrated phosphorus management and growth regulators on growth and yield of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)”. The experiment comprise twelve treatments viz., T1: PSB+ VAM+ Water spray, T2: PSB+ VAM+ NAA @ 10 ppm, T3: PSB+ VAM+ NAA @ 20 ppm, T4: PSB+ VAM+ Ethrel @ 100 ppm, T5: 20 kg P2O5 ha-1+ PSB+ VAM+ Water spray, T6: 20 kg P2O5 ha-1+ PSB+ VAM+ NAA @ 10 ppm, T7: 20 kg P2O5 ha-1+ PSB+ VAM+ NAA @ 20 ppm, T8: 20 kg P2O5 ha-1+ PSB+ VAM+ Ethrel 100 ppm, T9: 40 kg P2O5 ha-1+ water spray, T10: 40 kg P2O5 ha-1+ NAA @ 10 ppm, T11: 40 kg P2O5 ha-1+ NAA @ 20 ppm and T12: 40 kg P2O5 ha-1+ Ethrel 100 ppm. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design having four replications and variety Gujarat Fenugreek-2 (GF 2) was selected for the study. The soils of the experimental field was sandy loam (locally known as Goradu soil), slightly alkaline in nature (pH 8.1) with good drainage and with fair moisture retention capacity. The experimental soil was low in organic carbon (0.39 %) and available nitrogen (230.50 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorus (42.83 kg ha-1) and fairly high in available potassium (311 kg ha-1).
