A field experiment was carried out to study the effects of organic and chemical fertilizer on growth and yield of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) in outdoor nursery of School of Earth Sciences, Solapur University, agricultural farm in district of Solapur, Maharashtra. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with five treatments and three replications. Plot size 2m x 1m (2m2) was used for this experiment. Fenugreek local seeds were treated with different fertilizer treatments in field including vermicompost (T1) @ 0.6 kg/plot (@ 0.3 kg/sq. m), NADEP compost (T2) @1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq. m), pit compost (T3) @ 1.25 kg/plot (@ 0.625 kg/sq. m), chemical fertilizer (T4) @ 80:40:40 Kg of NPK/ha according to RDF and control (T5 ). The results showed that the growth parameters viz., plant height (28.75cm), fresh and dry weight per plant were improved after 60th day with application of vermicompost treatment (T1). Number of pods per plant (2.66) were higher in control treatment (T5). Total weight of pods per plant (0.78 gm/plant) and mean weight per pods per plant (0.30gm/pod/plant) was more with application of straight chemical fertilizers (T4). Application of chemical fertilizer is better and sustainable for higher yield of Fenugreek vegetable per plot than the other remaining fertilizer treatments.
