GF-2) during rabi-2021 at Certified Organic Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The experiment comprising 12 treatments viz., Panchagavya as foliar spray 3% at 30 and 45 DAS, Jeevamrut @ 500 L/ha with irrigation at sowing, 30 and 45 DAS, Banana sap as foliar @ 1% at 30 and 45 DAS and Seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30 and 45 DAS were evaluated alone and supplemented with FYM 2 t/ha in comparison to FYM 4 t/ha + Biofertilizers, FYM 4 t/ha, Control and 100% RDF (outside the organic plot) in randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that next to 100% RDF, application of FYM @ 4 t/ha + (Rhizobium @ 30 ml/kg seed+ PSB @ 3 L/ha+ KSB @ 3 L/ha), Panchagavya as foliar spray @ 3% at 30 and 45 DAS + FYM @ 2 t/ha and Jeevamrut @ 500 L/ha with irrigation at sowing, 30 and 45 DAS+ FYM @ 2 t/ha found significantly higher in terms of growth parameters and yield attributes along with higher seed yield (1176 kg/ha), stover yields (2294 kg/ha). The quality parameters viz., protein content, available NPK and organic carbon were found superior under the FYM @ 4 t/ha + Biofertilizers (Rhizobium@30 ml/kg seed+ PSB @3 L/ha+ KSB @ 3 L/ha). Name of Student Rashmi Jadav Major Guide Dr. G. S. Vala ii On the basis of the results obtained from the present one year investigation, it seems quite logical to conclude that higher production and net returns from fenugreek (var. GF-2) under organic farming can be secured by application of Panchagavya as foliar spray @3% at 30 and 45 DAS along with FYM 2 t/ha or FYM @ 4 t/ha along with Biofertilizers (Rhizobium @ 30 ml/kg seed + PSB @ 3 L/ha + KSB @ 3 L/ha) which also maintain physico-chemical properties of medium black calcareous clayey soil under South Saurashtra Agro-climatic ZoneEnglishThesis
