A pot experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015 at Vegetable Research Centre, Pantnagar to examine seed germination, plant height, fresh weight, dry weight and leaf area in eight different varieties of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing (DAS). It was observed that the morpho-physio and biochemical parameters changed significantly with the advancement of age. Fresh weight was found highest in Fgk-67 at 60 DAS and lowest in AM-2 at 30 DAS, the dry weight was maximum in Fgk-67 at 60 DAS and minimum in Fgk-70 at 45 DAS. The leaf area was maximum in Fgk-67 and found low in AM-2, the total chlorophyll was high in Afg-4 at 60 DAS and lowest in Fgk-70 at 30 DAS. The leaf area, plant height, fresh weight and dry weight increased significantly with the age.
