Popis: The present investigation entitled “to study the effect of Rhizobium isolates on germination and growth of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum L.)” (Variety - Phule Kasturi) at PG farm of Rajarshee Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj College of Agriculture, Kolhapur during summer season of the year 2020-21. The randomized block design (RBD) was used for the field experiment. The result of investigation showed that the application of 75 % RDN and 100 % RDPK (30:20:20 NPK kg/ha) + soil + seed both treated with commercial strain (Rhizobium tropici) of Rhizobium) was found to be more effective and showed vigorous growth and yield characteristics than the treatment of 75 % RDN and 100 % RDPK (30:20:20 NPK kg/ha + soil + seed both treated with efficient strain-B (RTHH5) of Rhizobium. These treatments were statistically at par with one another and superior to other treatments. The treatment of 75 % RDN and 100 % RDPK (30:20:20 NPK kg/ha) + soil + seed both treated with commercial strain (Rhizobium tropici) of Rhizobium showed profuse effect on growth parameters viz, maximum plant height (19 cm), primary branches (11), number of roots (13.37), number of leaves (18.67), leaf length (2.05cm) and number of root nodule (19). It also enhanced yield parameters viz, maximum yield per plot (5.33 kg), per acre (28.01quintal) and (7.72 tons/ha). It also increased the available N in soil (175.03 kg/ha). Thus, the present investigation confined that an application of Rhizoium strains with the seedling dip treatment and soil drenching found to be more effective along with 75 % RDN, and 100% RDPK and saving of 25% dose of nitrogen.
