Popis:	Proximate composition and quality of seeds of two fenugreek cultivars were examined for their response to inoculation, nitrogen fertilization and/or molybdenum application in two field experiments. Mo significantly (p≤0.05) increased 1000-seed weight and protein content of seeds. N had no significant effect on the quality of the seeds. Inoculation significantly (p≤0.05) increased fat, fibre and protein contents. The results indicate that fenugreek inoculation with compatible and effective rhizobia can improve the seed composition and quality.
