A field experiment entitled ＂Response of fenugreek (trigonella foenumgraecum L.) to phosphorus and sulphur＂ was conducted during rabi season of 2016-17 on clayey soil at Instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Junagadh AgriculturalUniversity, Junagadh. The experiment conducted with nine treatments in randomisedblock design (Factorial) with three replications.Application of phosphorus @ 40 kg ha-1recorded significantly the highestvalues of growth parameters viz., plant height (14.78, 42.07 and 62.67 cm at 30 and60 DAS and at harvest, respectively) and number of primary (7.57) and secondary(11.60) branches per plant at harvest. Significantly higher number of pods per plant(15.26), length of pod (12.40 cm), number of seeds per pod (13.14), test weight (17.76g), seed yield (1565.33 kg ha-1) & stover yield (3273.33 kg ha-1) and biological yield(4875.05 kg ha-1), but, remained statistically at par with treatment P1 (20 kg P2O5 ha-1)in case of number of branches per plant and test weight. The lowest values of growthparameter as well as yield attributes and yield were observed under control (0 kg P2O5ha-1). Considerable improvement in N, P, K and S uptake by seed as well as stover.
