A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of irrigation and different seed treatment methods on growth and yield of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) at Horticulture Unit, NRCSS, Tabiji (Ajmer). Nine treatment combinations comprising of three irrigation methods viz., pressurized drip irrigation, micro sprinkler and surface irrigation in main plot and three seed treatments viz., Bavistin,Trichoderma viride and control (no treatment) in sub-plots were evaluated in split plot design with three replications. Application of irrigation through drip and micro sprinkler resulted significantly higher growth, yield attributes, seed yield, net return and B: C ratio over surface irrigation method. Drip as well as micro sprinkler exhibited at par yield and yield attributes .The highest plant height (47.67 cm), number of pod plant-1 (49.79), number of seed pod-1 (15.27), and seed yield (2043.96 kg ha-1) was recorded in drip followed by irrigation with micro sprinkler, which were significantly higher over surface irrigation method (1577.51kg ha-1). Seed treatment with Bavistin and T. viride were found significantly superior over no seed treatment in respect to growth parameters, yield attributes, seed yield and economic returns. The highest plant height (46.74 cm), number of pod plant-1 (51.11), number of seed pod-1 (14.91), seed yield (2007.83 kg ha-1) was recorded with seed treatment by T. viride. Application of irrigation through drip along with seed treatment withT. virideresulted the highest gross return (Rs.74981 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 54277 ha-1) and B: C ratio (2.62). Thus it can be concluded that application of irrigation through drip along with seed treatment byTrichoderma viride is the best treatments combination for exploiting higher yield and net returns from fenugreek crop
