Field experiment was carried out at carried out during early summer 2024 in the department of horticulture, Horticulture Research Farm, R.A.K., College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.). This experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and eight treatments. The experimental crop fenugreek was line sown with the spacing of 15cm*10cm. This study evaluated the effects of various treatments on plant growth and development at different growth intervals. The treatments included NC (1 t ha^-1) with Rhizobium (1.5 kg ha^-1), FYM (10 t ha^-1) with Rhizobium (1.5 kg ha^-1), and NC (1 t ha^-1) with PSB (5 kg ha^-1). Among the treatments, NC + Rhizobium (T₈) consistently exhibited the highest growth parameters. The highest number of leaves (25.48) and fresh weight (27.06 g) were also found in T₈. The control treatment, T₁, consistently showed the lowest growth parameters, with the lowest leaf area (3.24 cm²) and fresh weight (16.12 g) at harvest. These results demonstrate the positive effects of combining NC with Rhizobium on plant growth and yield parameters.
