Integriertes Nährstoff-Management bei Bockshornklee

This book "Integrated Nutrient Management" describes the role of integrated nutrient management in enhancing the production and productivity of fenugreek. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), known as Methi in almost all Indian states, belongs to the subfamily Papilionoideae in the family Fabaceae. The seeds are a good source of proteins, vitamins, the alkaloid trigonelline, and essential oil, and they have high medicinal value. Rajasthan alone accounts for over 80% of the total Methi production in India. The increased use of chemical fertilizers adversely affects the chemical, physical, and biological health of the soil and the productivity of crops. Utilizing locally available plant nutrient sources for fertility management can improve soil health and crop productivity. Fenugreek production must be enhanced through integrated nutrient management. This book addresses the best management practices and production techniques for sustainable fenugreek production. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers and decision-makers, particularly in regions with low fertility, especially in Rajasthan.
