2 Field Crops Central Research Institute - Ankara/Turkey - This study was carried out at the experimental fields of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture and University of Ankara during 1997-1998. Seven fenugreek lines and a Standard variety were used as a study material. These lines were improved in our department by using single plant selection method.

According to the results of this research, following traits ranged as indicated: Plant height 68.57-91.33 cm, seed yield 86.70-137.00 kg/da, biological yield 305.9-430.4 kg/da, branch number per plant 1.67-2.27, pod number per plant 11.07-14.27, seed number per pod 11.47-13.53 and one thousand seed weight 16.86-21.44 g in winter sowing. The results in spring sowing changed between 60.70-76.90 cm, 40.13-73.23 kg/da, 212.4-308.0 kg/da, 1.67-2.60, 9.90-12.53, 11.63-14.10 and 13.77-16.68 g, respectively.
