ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of bio-fertilizers and organic manures on growth, seed yield and quality of fenugreek during the rabi season at Hisar and revealed application of Rhizobium + FYM (96.73 cm) treatment significantly increase the plant height, while highest number of branches (6.60), number of pods (88.57), pod length (9.93cm), seeds per pod (19.10) and maximum yield/ha (2077 kg) was recorded with application of recommended dose of NPK (40:50:25 kg/ha), followed by Rhizobium + PSB + FYM, Rhizobium + FYM, PSB + FYM, Rhizobium + Poultry manure and Rhizobium + Vermi-compost, which were statistically significant as compared to control. Application of different biofertilizers, organic manures and their combinations did not effect the days taken for 50% flowering significantly. Maximum seedling vigour index-I (2051.6) and vigour index-II (7165.4) were obtained when crop was supplied with recommended dose of NPK followed by Rhizobium + PSB + vermin-compost, Rhizobium + FYM and Rhizobium + PSB + FYM which were statistically significant over control.
