Background: Nitrogen and phosphorus are amongst fundamental macronutrients, which are crucial for the growth and development of plant. Soils of dry land of central Rajasthan are deficit in nitrogen and phosphorus content which leads to lower productivity of kasuri methi. Therefore, adequate supply of nitrogen (foliar spray) and phosphorus could enhance productivity of kasuri methi. Methods: The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations including four levels of phosphorus (control, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) and four levels of foliar application of nitrogen (control, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%). They were under taken in FRBD with three replications. Result: Growth parameters and yield of fresh and dried leaves of the crop increased almost linearly with increasing levels of phosphorus and foliar application of nitrogen. The result indicated that application of phosphorus 60 kg/ha and foliar nitrogen @ 2.0% to the kasuri methi crop significantly increased the plant height (cm) and leaf area per plant (cm2) at each harvest, number of nodules per plant (58.17 and 53.33, respectively) and chlorophyll content (2.32 and 2.39 mg/100 g, respectively), fresh leaves yield (139.1 and 141.66 q/ha, respectively), dry leaves yield (20.01 and 22.38 q/ha, respectively), protein content in leaves (5.28 and 5.75%, respectively) and ascorbic acid in leaves (218.15 and 222.42 mg/100 g, respectively).

“…The increase in seed yield was attributed to remarkable improvement in almost all the growth and yield attributes under these treatments. Positive response of coriander crop in terms of yield attributes and yield to inorganic fertilizer, enriched compost and biofertilizers have also been reported by Lokhande et al, (2015), Kumar et al, (2016) and Datta et al, (2017).…”

“…Seeds pod -1 , test weight, number of pods plant -1 , branches plant -1 and plant height were the important characters for selection of high yielding lines as they exhibited direct and positive effect on seed yield per plant (Sharma and Sastry, 2008;Pushpa et al, 2012;Singh et al, 2013). Higher seed yield in fenugreek always associated with the higher number of branches, pods plant -1 , seeds pod -1 (Datta and Chatterjee, 2014;Singh et al, 2012), through better expression of associated physiological traits (Banafar, 2000). McCormick et al (2009) observed that characteristics displayed by the highest yielding types included a high degree of branching, a flowering date similar to, or earlier than the check-line, and high biomass.…”

The present study was undertaken for three years to evaluate thirteen promising genotypes from India for both yield and diosgenin content. Maximum yield was recorded in genotype LFC-103 (584.1 kg ha -1 ) followed by HM-348 (542.8 kg ha -1 ). The diosgenin content in the studied genotypes varied significantly, similar observations were recorded with the diosgenin productivity. Local cultivar recorded significantly highest diosgenin content (0.92 %). The highest diosgenin productivity was recorded with UM-364 (3.97 kg ha -1 ) followed by NDM-119 (3.91 kg ha -1 ). The superiority of these genotypes can be attributed to their wide adaptability and robust growth under rainfed conditions.
