“…This indicated the presence of sufficient amount of genetic variability for these traits that can be exploited by selection for the improvement of characters. These results are in harmony with of Datta et al (2005), Kole and Mishra (2006), Prajapati et al (2010) and Wojo et al (2016), Singh et al (2017). Moderate GCV and PCV for branches plant -1 , no.…”

The present investigation has been carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Mandor, Jodhpur during month of Rabi season (October, 2016–April, 2017) to evaluate 35 genotypes of fenugreek to assess extent of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance with correlation and path coefficient for yield and its contributing characters. The material was planted in Randomized Block Design with three replications and observations were recorded on individual plant basis. Analysis of variance recorded significant between genotypes for the characters studies. The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher for seed yield per plant (g). High heritability (broad sense) coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean was observed for branches per plant, no. of pods per plant, pod length (cm), seeds per pod, test weight (g) and seed yield per plant (g). The correlation analysis at genotypic and phenotypic level, seed yield per plant was positively significant correlated with branches per plant, number of pods per plant, test weight, harvest index, days to 50% flowering, pod length and seeds per pod, but except days to maturity at phenotype level which was correlated with negative significance. Path coefficient analysis suggested that the highest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant was exerted by harvest index (%) followed by seeds per pod, test weight, days to 50% flowering, plant height and branches per plant. Number of pods per plant, pod length (cm) and days to maturity contributed considerable negative direct effect on grain yield per plant.

“…Lower GCV and PCV recorded for days to 50% flowering and days to maturity, which indicated that, is selection might not be effective for these characters. Verma and Ali (2012), Kumari et al (2015) and Singh et al (2017) also reported similar results.…”

“…Wojo et al [7] also reported that the number of primary branches had a negative direct efect on the grain yield phenotypically but a positive direct efect on the grain yield genotypically. Te results partially agree with Singh and Kakani's study [42], which reported a high and negative direct efect of the number of primary branches on the grain yield both at genotypic and phenotypic levels.…”

“…Tis indicates that the correlation of these traits with the grain yield was largely due to the direct efect and that selection based on these traits is predicted to improve grain yield. Tis result is supported by several previous studies in which the same traits had positive direct efects on the grain yield of fenugreek, such as Singh and Kakani [42] for the number of pods per plant and number of secondary branches and Yadav et al [23] for number of pods per plant and number of branches.…”

Information on the diversity of landraces is necessary to improve crops through selection or hybridization. This study was conducted to show the diversity of fenugreek landraces and associated traits. A total of 160 accessions including one local and four improved standard checks were evaluated in an augmented block design at the Haramaya University research site in 2016. Data collected include days to flowering, days to maturity, seed yield (kg/ha), thousand seed weight (g), the number of primary branches, plant height at flowering (cm), the number of pods per plant, the number of secondary branches, average pod length (cm), the number of seeds per pod, and seed yield per plant (g/plant) of quantitative traits. The analysis of variance revealed the existence of significant differences between accessions of all parameters. Genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation departed from 5.95–56.91% and 6.47–58.88%. Heritability in the broad sense and expected genetic gain as percent mean varied from 60.9 to 96.1% and from 2.5 to 70.3%. The seed yield per plant, the number of secondary branches, and the number of pod per plant had positive direct effects on the yield at both genotypic and phenotypic levels and the number of primary branches, and the average pod length via seed yield per plant, while the number of seeds per plant through the number of primary branches and the number of pods per plant had a positive indirect effect on the yield at the genotypic level, suggesting that these traits could be considered for indirect selection of genotypes for yield. The genetic distances of genotypes measured by Euclidean distance ranged from 0.07 to 10.6, and the dendrogram was constructed by using the unweighted pair group method using arithmetic mean. The presence of variability among fenugreek accessions suggested possibilities to improve the crop through the crossing of distant genotypes. This was an excellent opportunity to contribute to farmers’ food security and livelihoods by bringing about the improvement of fenugreek.

Information on the diversity of landraces, cultivation practices, and feeding habits is necessary to improve the crops through selection and/or hybridization. This study was conducted to generate information to document cropping practices, values, and socio-cultural aspects of fenugreek. A study was conducted in five districts of Oromia and one yem special districts at Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Regional States, and data were collected using structured and semi-structured interviews from 144 general and 24 key informants. Assessment of data was conducted through interviews with informants regarding cropping systems of the specific landraces, plant nomenclature of traditional landraces, distinctive criteria of each landrace, and use of fenugreek. R software version 4.1.2 and MS Excel 2010 were used to analyze qualitative data, quantify, sort, determine proportions and draw figures, percentages, means, and tables. The result indicated that Hulbata guracha and Hulbata Dima in Eastern Hararghe and Abesha abish and Orome abish in Yem Special district were reported as popular farmers’ cultivars. The farmers named the cultivars mainly based on seed color, seed source, and taste. Sole cropping of fenugreek was more common in Yem special district (65.3%), whereas intercropping with sorghum and Catha edulis (khat) was common in East Hararghe (27.3%) and crop rotation was practiced in both East Hararghe (97.2%) and Yem especial district (88.8%). The farmers in the study area use fenugreek mainly as food in East Hararghe (100%) while in Yem special district used mainly as a spice (100%). This is due to socio-cultural and knowledge differences on the importance of fenugreek in the study area that influence feeding habits, cultivation practice, and uses.
