Adoption of Promising Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graceum L.) Genotypes for Yield and Quality Characteristics in the Semiarid Climate of Turkey

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