The present work was conducted during two successive seasons to study the effect of applying two levels (0.2, 0.4%) of the complete fertilizer compounds (Folifertile, Bayfolan, Ferty Green, Foliatrin, and Complesal), on growth, yield components, and chemical constituents of fenugreek plant. Data reveal that foliar fertilizing by using the tested fertilizer, in most cases had a significant effect on plant height, pods number/plant, pod length, seeds number/ plant and weight of 100 seeds, while no significant differences were detected on seed number/pod and weight of pods per plant. The highest seed contents of total carbohydrate, fixed oil, N, P, Mg, Fe and Mn were attained by spraying the two levels (0.2 and 0.4%) of the tested fertilizer compounds, while all treatments decreased Zn and Cu seeds content. While all fertilizer treatments improved the growth, yield components and chemical constituents of fenugreek plant, Ferty Green and Bayfolan Fertilizer compound were superior in this respect.
