Description A field experiment on effect of bio-fertilizers and plant growth regulators on growth and yield offenugreek was carried out at NRCSS, Ajmer. The experiment comprising of four levels of bio- fertilizers (noinoculation, Rhizobium, PSB and Rhizobium+PSB) and five levels of plant growth regulators ( GA3 50 and 100ppm and NAA 10 and 20 ppm and water) was conducted in factorial randomelly bock design with threereplication. The results indicated that superiority of dual inoculation of seed with Rhizobium+PSB recordedsignificantly higher plant height, no of branches/plant, number of nodules/plant and dry weight of nodulesper plant at 45 DAS and harvest stage over rest treatment. Dual inoculation of seed with Rhizobium+PSB alsorecorded significantly higher yield components (viz.), number of pods/plant, pod length, pod weight, numberof seeds/pod and shelling percentage) and consequently increase seed and biological yield (i.e., 18.02 and63.96 q ha-1) over control (15.62 and 57.55 q ha-1), respectively.The growth parameters, yield components andseed yield showed positive response to foliar application of plant growth regulators. The maximum dry matteraccumulation, number of pods/plant, numbers of seeds/pod, pod length, pod weight, and shelling percentagewas recorded in 20 ppm NAA treatment followed by 10 ppm NAA application. The productivity of fenugreekcrop in terms of seed, biological yield and harvest index were recorded highest (17.62, 65.65 q ha-1 and27.45%) in 20 ppm foliar spray of NAA.
