A field experiment was carried out using five genotypes at Agronomyfarm, S.K.N. Collage of Agriculture, Jobner during Rabi season 2014-2015 to investigate “The response of water stress at two stages viz. 40 DAS and 65 DAS on the physiological indices and seed yield of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) genotypes”. The proposed investigation was conducted in randomised block design with four replication of five genotypes in three sets.The seeds of five genotypes (UM-100,UM-112,UM-124,UM-134,UM-140) were procured from Incharge, AICRP on spices, Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics, SKN College of agriculture,Jobner. The present investigation resulted that an overall reduction in membrane stability index values was observed at both stages in all the genotypes. However, UM-100 at 40 DAS exhibit bettermembrane stability under water stress condition.The genotype UM-112 was found high yielder under control (Non stressed) condition but it was highly susceptible to water stress followed by genotype UM-140.
