An experiment was carried out at Department of Agricultural Meteorology Research Farm, College of Agriculture, and Pune during kharif, 2019. Field experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. There were sixteen treatment combinations comprising of four varieties (Phule Kasturi, RMT-1, Methi Extra Bold and Local Variety) as main plot treatment and four sowing windows (26, 27, 28 and 29MW) as sub plot treatment. The gross and net plot sizes were 3.0m × 2.0m and 2.6m × 1.8m, respectively. The plant protection measures were given as per requirement. The periodical observations on growth and yield contributing characters were recorded to assess the treatment effects. Different varieties of fenugreek showed a significant influence on growth and yield parameters. Among the four cultivars of table purpose fenugreek, Phule Kasturi recorded significantly higher growth components like plant height, number of functional leaves plant-1, leaf area plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1 and yield components resulted in increased fresh foliage yield as compared to RMT-1, Methi Extra Bold and Local Variety. From this investigation, it was concluded that table purpose fenugreek variety Phule Kasturi was found good and optimum time for sowing of table purpose fenugreek should be last week of June. A table purpose fenugreek variety Phule Kasturi when sown during 26 MW (25th June -1st July) favorably influenced growth and yield contributing characters resulted in better yields.
