Pods per plant (36.5 and 34.61), number of seeds per pod (22.86 and 21.20) and seed yield (22.09 and 17.21) recorded highest coefficients of variation (both phenotypic and genotypic), while it was low for pod length (11.43 and 7.32). Heritability estimates were high for plant height (83.10), pods per plant (89.90) and seeds per pod (86.00). Seed yield (60.70) and branches per plant showed moderate estimates of heritability. The characters viz. plant height, pods per plant, seeds per pod and seed yield which recorded high heritability also showed high genetic advance indicating operation of additive gene action in the inheritance of these traits. These studies indicated that selection may be worthwhile in fenugreek for number of pods per plant, seeds per pod besides plant height for achieving higher yields.
