medhika :
Geographical distribution:
Fenugreek is naturally found in field verges, uncultivated ground, dry grasslands and hillsides in semi-highland and highland regions (Alaoui, 2005). Fenugreek is grown as a cool season crop in India and the Mediterranean region, both irrigated and as a rainfed crop. It grows on a wide range of preferably well drained soils with a pH ranging from 5.3 to 8.2. Wet soils are not suitable. In cooler areas, growth is slow and weak during cold periods and it is better grown as a summer crop. The seeds require warm dry weather for ripening and harvest (FAO, 2017; Alaoui, 2005). Fenugreek optimally grows in places where annual temperatures are in the range of 8-27°C and where annual rainfall is between 400-1500 mm. It is a full-sunlight species (Alaoui, 2005).ECOLOGICAL ASPECT:
-Ecology Fenugreek is basically a warm temperate crop with cultivars adapted by long domestication to warmer and colder environments.Plant conservation:
