Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to evaluate the effect of seed rate and row spacing on quality parameters of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) cv. Hisar Sonali. The treatment comprised of three rows spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) in main plot and five seed rate (16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 kg/ha). Ten competitive plants are selected randomly from each plot to record data on various parameters. Seed rate resulted significant improvement in seed quality parameters. The maximum value were recorded for test weight and germination percentage with treatment combination S1R3, i.e. seed rate 16 kg/ha and row spacing of 40 cm. However,the treatment combination S5R3, i.e. seed rate 24 kg/ha and row spacing of 40 cm, was found to be best with respect to seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-I and vigour index-II.
