Abstract:

Fenugreek is one of the most important condiment crops of country in general and Rajasthan in particular. The state contributes the major share of India’s production, accounting for almost 80%. The state accounts for 82.35 thousand ha area with production of 87.38 thousand tones and the productivity of 1.06 t/ha (National Horticultural Board 2011-12). It is a winter season crop having multiple uses and its every part is consumed in one or the other form. The crop is used as a spice, as a vegetable for human consumption, as forage for cattle and to some extent for medicinal purposes.Weeds have been identified as a serious drawback in achieving its potential yield. Weeds reduce grain yield of this crop upto an extent of 86% (Tripathi and Singh 2008). Scarcity of labour and their increasing wages compel the farmers to opt the alternative of manual weeding. Therefore, the present investigation was under taken to find out the most effective weed management practice in fenugreek.
