| Abstract | ||||
| This research was conducted in 2019 during the rain feed cropping season. It was conducted in Northern Ethiopia of Ofla Woreda at the specific site of Awuligara testing site. Sixteen fenugreek genotypes and one standard check (Jamma) were tested. It was undertaken to evaluate the yield performance of the different fenugreek genotypes in the study area. The trial was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications with a plot size of 1.2mx1.5m. The phenology (flowering and maturity days), growth performance, and yield, as well as yield component parameters, did not show significant variation. However, the two fenugreek accessions (Acc#234031 and Acc#234032) and one genotype collected fromLesalso were characterized under resistant for cercospora leaf spot severity. The standard check variety (Jamma) was also categorized in susceptible cercospora leaf spot severity scale. The minimum and maximum seed yield obtained from Acc#234027 (17.19Qt/ha) and the improved variety Jamma (33.97 Qt/ha) were not significantly influenced in the trail. To come in strong recommendation, further studies on the disease prevalence effect on yield and yield parameters performance should be conducted . | ||||
