Thorough profiles provide a plant's botanical name and family, whether it is an annual or perennial, its height, hardiness, light requirements, water consumption, required soil type, and pH. The often fascinating history of the plant, the chemistry of its essential oils, and its culinary, landscape, and craft uses are also included, as is advice on how to propagate. For the first edition of their work, both authors received The Gertrude B. Foster Award for Excellence in Herbal Literature from the Herb Society of America. This new edition adds important species and includes updated nomenclature.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a popular leafy vegetable cum seed spice crop. In India, fenugreek has remained almost neglected for its genetic improvement to increase yield potential for commercial exploitation. This book mainly focuses on genetics and cultivation of fenugreek. It provides information origin, plant botany, genetics, breeding, cultivation, harvesting, storing and processing of fenugreek. We hope this information will be helpful to growers, extension workers and researcher. I did research on fenugreek for two years, during this time I had experienced that due to its minor spices, detailed content is not available, and to overcome this shortcoming, I decided to write this book so that the future Can get enough information for the researchers from this manuscript.
