Effect of Irrigation and Sowing Methods on Growth & Yield of Fenugreek : Irrigation Scheduling Based On IW/CPE Ratio and Methods of Sowing

India is largely occupies area of fenugreek with high production. The extent of yield mainly depends on various environmental factors and cultural practices. The factors like optimum spacing play an important role for achieving maximum yield per unit area. Normally, the fenugreek is sown by broadcasting which is common practice adopted by the farmer in Gujarat. This method dose not facilitates the farm operations viz., inter cultivation, weeding etc. Precise information regarding appropriate scheduling of irrigation based on IW/CPE ratio and method of sowing for fenugreek is meagre. Keeping in view the above considerations, comprehensive research programme was planned to study the judicious use of irrigation water which may provide information not only on water use by crop but also when to irrigate and to find out suitable method of sowing for fenugreek.
