Step By Step How to Grow

1) Soil
A rich well drained loamy soil is best suited for fenugreek cultivation.

2) Climate
Cool and comparatively dry, frost free climate

3) Season
June - July and October - November

4) Seed rate
12 kg/ha is required

5) Seed treatment
Treated with Azospirillum 1.5 kg/ha + Trichoderma viride @ 50 g/ha for 12 kg of seeds.

6) Field preparation and sowing
• Prepare the main field to a fine tilth.

• Add FYM 20 - 25 t/ha before last ploughing. Form beds and channels of 3.5 x 1.5 m.

• Seeds are sown at a spacing of 20 X 15 cm. Spray pre-emergence herbicide Fluchloralin 700 ml in 500 lit of water per ha.

7)Manuring
Basal

FYM 20 - 25 t/ha and N, P, K at 30:25:40 kg/ha.

Top dressing

20 kg of N at 30 days after sowing.

Root rot can be controlled by soil application of Neem cake @ 150 g/ha and seed treatment with Trichoderma viride @ 4g/kg of seed and drenching with Carbendazim 0.5 g/l or Copper oxychloride 2 g/litre.

Powdery mildew
Dust Sulphur at 25 kg/ha or foliar spray with wettable sulphur 2 g/lit at the time of appearance of disease.
