“…The present study revealed that high heritability with high genetic advance as percent of mean, respectively, showed for almost all the studied traits like, number of pods per plant (99.6 %, 97.7 %), number of seeds per pod (98.8 %, 84.2 %), number of primary branches per plant(98.5 %, 104.4 %), number of secondary branches per plant (98.3 %, 107.6), biomass yield (97.6 %, 59.9 %), plant height (94.6 %, 63 %), thousand seeds weight (92.6 %, 66.7 %), and pods length (91.5 %, 61.1 %). Generally, the study indicate that indigenous knowledge held by fenugreek farmers has to be documented and preserved in appropriate formats including in databases and the fenugreek can be improved through selection easily with considering the traits that show high variation with genetic advance for future breeding.…”
