The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Yield attributes and Yield of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.)” was carried out at the Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Block, Department of Plantation crop, Spices, Medicinal and Aromatic Crop, College of Horticulture, VCSG Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Bharsar Pauri Garhwal during the month of October 2019 to May 2020. The experiment was laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The experimental study consisted of 11 treatments having integrated application of different doses of organic manure, inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer i.e., (N, P, K, FYM, compost, neem cake and PSB). The treatments were replicated thrice in a plot having dimension of 1.5 m × 1m and a spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm was followed. The application of these nutrients in integrated form were applied at sowing time and the data obtained for various yield characters were statistically analyzed to find out the significance of these integrated nutrients. In present investigation, it was observed that the application of organic manure, inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer has significant effect on the yield attributes of the crop. The results revealed that the application of 75% RDF + 25% FYM + PSB in treatment T₉ recorded maximum leaves yield per plot 70.50 (g/m²), seed yield per plot 275.50 (g/m²), economic yield (20.16 q/ha). The treatment T₁₁, T₁₀ and T₂ were found at par with the treatment T₉ in yield parameter as well as in economical yield. So, it is clearly concluded that there is good scope of increasing crop yield or seed yield with the use of integrated nutrient management as it is important for sustaining production and improving the fertility of soil.
