Experiment was conducted during 2011–2012 at the Experimental Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Medziphema Campus, Nagaland University to evaluate the performance of fenugreek genotypes under foothill condition of Nagaland. Seven genotypes viz., RMT-1, RMT-305, AFG-2, AFG-3, AFG-4, AM-317 and Hisar Sonali were evaluated for their growth, seed yield and quality characters in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Results revealed that all the genotypes exhibited significant variation in their performance in term of growth, yield and quality characters. Among the genotypes, RMT-1 recorded maximum plant height (46.27 cm), number of branches plan⁻¹ (5.59) and number of leaves plan⁻¹ (59.81), length of pods (11.40 cm), number of pods plant⁻¹ (16.13), number of seeds pod⁻¹ (16.27), test weight (20.33 g), seed yield plant⁻¹ (8.69 g) and seed yield hectare⁻¹ (19.32 q). Whereas protein content in seed was recorded highest (10.94%) in genotype AFG-2 under existing agro-climatic condition of Nagaland.
