“…The TC of the seeds varied from 5.64 to 7.86 mg/g DW in 2014 and from 5.10 to 8.0 mg/g DW in 2015 (Figure 2A,B). These values of TC are higher than those reported by Dadrasan et al [32] and Hassanzadeh et al [33] measured in domestic ecotypes of fenugreek seeds in Iran. Dadrasan et al [32] reported TC values of 2.9 and 3.1 mg/g under full and severe deficit irrigation, respectively.…”

Antioxidants and flavonoids are beneficial compounds used in the pharmaceutical and food industries that are derived from natural sources. A two-year field experiment was undertaken to investigate the effect of agricultural management practices on the trigonelline content, antioxidant activity measured with DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Fe+++-Reduction, Ferric reducing antioxidant power), total phenolic content, total flavonoids content, and specific flavonoid contents of fenugreek seeds. The treatments examined were sole fenugreek (Sole F) and three intercropping ratios with buckwheat (B) (F:B = 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2), each with three types of fertilizer (chemical fertilizer, integrated fertilizer, and broiler litter). The highest trigonelline content of fenugreek seeds was obtained in F:B = 2:1 fertilized with broiler litter. Compared to Sole F, the fenugreek seeds harvested in the intercropped treatments had higher antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, vitexin, isovitexin, orientin, and isoorientin. The treatment F:B = 2:1 enhanced the antioxidant activity and the content of bioactive compounds. Overall, the addition of organic manure to fenugreek seeds was highly effective at promoting all compounds analyzed in both the sole and the intercrop systems. Our study found that harvested fenugreek seeds from plants that were intercropped with buckwheat and with the application of organic fertilizer enhanced the seed content of antioxidants and flavonoids.

“…Fenugreek is well adapted to different climatic and edaphic conditions [23], but agronomic characteristics such as growth requirements, seed yield, and quality vary between genotypes [24]. Previous literature suggested that genetic and environmental factors greatly influence the medicinal and aromatic plants' chemical and biological properties [25,26]. Studies on yield and quality characteristics are required to determine superior fenugreek genotypes adapted to different ecological conditions.…”

This study was conducted for two seasons from 2018 to 2020 to determine fenugreek genotypes yield and quality characteristics under semiarid climatic conditions. Fenugreek genotypes viz., Adana, Afghanistan, Gaziantep, Iraq, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Mardin, Şanlıurfa with varieties of Berkem and Gürarslan were used as plant material in the research. Field trials were conducted with four replications according to the randomized complete block design. The results revealed that the time to emergence varied from 16.0 to 19.9 days, 50% flowering from 160.9 to 170.4 days, and the vegetation period from 202.0 to 209.3 days. According to the results of two years of research, plant height varied from 64.60 to 78.70 cm, first pod height from 25.26 to 41.76 cm, pod width from 2.91 to 3.29 mm, pod length from 10.07 to 12.60 cm, number of pods per plant from 12.00 to 18.73, number of seeds per pod from 12.55 to 15.55, biological yield from 5.12 to 7.62 t/ha−1, seed yield from 0.91 to 1.38 t/ha−1, harvest index from 17.91 to 24.35%, thousand-seed weight from 13.87 to 17.45 g, fatty oil content from 5.18 to 9.16%, fatty oil yield from 49.3 to 111.6 kg ha−1, and the trigonelline ratio varied from 0.71 to 1.32%. Statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed for the pod width, while highly significant differences (p ≤ 0.01) were observed for all other parameters. According to the research results, Mardin, Kayseri, and Adana genotypes were statistically in the same group with Berkem cultivar in terms of seed yield. A higher fatty oil content was obtained in the Afghanistan genotype (9.16%) than in the Berkem cultivar (8.11%). Gaziantep, Mardin, Şanlıurfa, and Kayseri genotypes contained higher trigonellin than the Berkem and Gürarslan varieties. The obtained information was the result of the Mardin, Kayseri, Adana, Gaziantep, and Afghanistan genotypes that can be used in breeding studies.

In this study, the changes of quality characters of fenugreek according to thousand-seed weight (TSW) was examined and compared with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Fenugreek seeds were separated into 5 different TSW ranges (W1, W2, W3, W4, W5). Different TSW had significant effects on crude protein content, palmitic, stearic, linoleic and linolenic acid contents and K, Ca and Mn contents. Linoleic acid had the highest content among fatty acid components. Increasing K and Mn contents and decreasing Ca contents were observed with increasing TSW. The highest values were obtained from W1 range in terms of crude ash and crude oil content, palmitic and linolenic acid, Ca, Mg, P, Na and S. At the end of the study, the W1 (10.00-13.00 g) range, which stands out in many quality features, can be recommended in fenugreek cultivation for high quality.
