Abstract: An experiment was laid out during rabi 2017-18 at Instructional Farm of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Raj.) for studying the effect of inorganic and organic sources of fertilization on nutrient content, uptake and quality of fenugreek. Results revealed that the application of 100% RDF significantly enhanced growth kinetics i.e. CGR and RGR; nitrogen uptake by seed (73.2 kg ha-1) and haulm (107.7 kg ha-1); phosphorus uptake by seed (10.3 kg ha-1) and haulm (19.8 kg ha-1); chlorophyll content (3.42 mg g-1) at 50 per cent flowering and crude protein (21.1%) in seed as compared to lower doses of inorganic sources of fertilization. The escalating levels of inorganic sources significantly improved nitrogen (289.41 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (25.36 kg ha-1) status of soil after harvesting of crop. The application of FYM 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB notably increased nitrogen uptake by seed (68.8 kg ha-1) and haulm (91.8 kg ha-1). Phosphorus uptake was significantly higher with application of vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB. After harvesting of crop, significantly more N (302.32 kg ha-1) and P (23.82 kg ha-1) content in soil was observed under the application of FYM 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB. Likewise, quality parameters viz. chlorophyll content (3.28 mg g-1) at 50 per cent flowering stage and crude protein content (20.3%) in seed was significantly higher with the application of FYM 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB.
