The present study was conducted at Main Experiment Station, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya during Rabi season of 2022-23. Plant material consisted of 63 genotypes of fenugreek including 3 checks namely Pusa Early Bunching (PEB), Hisar Sonali and Narendra Methi-1 in Augmented Block Design. In analysis of variance, the variance due to block were highly significant for all other characters. High coefficient of variations was estimated for seed yield per plant followed by harvest index and number of pods per plant. High heritability was expressed by number of pods per plant followed by seed yield per plant, harvest index, test weight, plant height, biological yield, pod length, days to 50% flowering, number of primary branches per plant and days to maturity. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were most of the traits which indicated opportunity for selection response in available germplasm of fenugreek with low selection, intensity for improvement. When variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean are considered together seed yield per plant may be the best trait that could be exploited for hybridization and selection improvement since these characters recorded high variability, high heritability and high to moderate genetic advance.
