Abstract: An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2014-15, to study the “Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and seed yield of fenugreek” at the Main garden, University Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Twelve treatment combinations were formed with a view to integrate four nitrogen doses and three phosphorus doses. The allocation of treatments was made by random method. On the basis of results obtained in the present investigation, the yield parameters in respect to number of pods per plant, seeds per podseed yield per hectare were observed significantly maximum in the treatment T₉ (N₃P₃) i.e. 80kg N+60kg P. Considering the cost economics, nitrogen level N₃ (80 kg ha ^-1) and phosphorus level P₃ (60 kg ha^-1) was found to be most remunerative as per the B:C ratio (2.51).
