Fenugreek is one of the major and important spices grown in India. Application of commercial antioxidants and nutrients for seed enhancement is expensive and not easily accessible by the farmers. The hereby study was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) during 2018-2020.

In India and other countries of the Mediterranean region, it is primarily used as a spice crop (Acharya et al., 2008) to the flavour and nutritive value of food. Its fresh tender leaves and stems are consumed as curried vegetable. Commercially, it has high economic value as food, fodder and medicine. For medicinal and cosmetic purpose, its leaf and seed is used to prepare extract and powder. The leaves both fresh and dried are used in meat curries and several vegetable dishes.

Onion (Allium cepa L) is the most economical vegetable often used as a spice. The farming of onion on rainfed areas, by using broad casting method is very difficult. Broadcasting method results in the higher amount of seed rate, non-uniform distribution of seeds, poor bulb maturity, higher nutrient competition, and more over it is a time consuming and laborious process. By taking all these factors into consideration an animal drawn onion seeder was developed under rainfed onion crop cultivation with a reasonable cost of operation.

Coriander is an annual herbaceous spice plant, a family member of Umbelliferae. In India it is grown in 4,47,000 ha area with annual production of 3,14,000 MT during 2013-14 (Anonymous, 2015). This data is shortening as compared to previous statistics with respect to production, this is because of current knowledge about its characteristic association and their effects is incomplete. To fulfill these gaps, an investigation was conducted during the 2014-15 at research farm in Hisar. Data for 11 quality traits were measured and statistically analysed.

The seed spices constitute an important group of agricultural commodities, playing an important role in our national economy. During 2012-13 share of seed spices in India‟s spice area and production is 7.02% and 11.82% respectively. This study was conducted during the year 2016-17. A total of 28 farmers from different categories were selected purposively from Pana (Bayana) villages of Bharatpur district of Rajasthan for conducting Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) on their field on fennel crop.

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L) is a predominantly rabi seed spices crop of Rajasthan. In Rajasthan it is grown in 157 thousand ha area with production of 190.36 thousand tones with productivity of 1212 Kg. /ha. One of the major constraints of its low productivity is non adoption of improved technologies. To demonstrate this 65 Front line demonstrations (FLDs) were organized by KVK, Banswara between 2013-14 and 2016-17 under tribal sub plan of ICAR- NRCSS, Tabiji Ajmer.

Seed spices are important commercial crops of arid and semiarid regions of India and accounting major contribution for domestic and export market. In these regions water is one of the main constraint in crop production since the growing areas are deficit in annual rainfall and these crops are grown during winter season requires assured irrigation for successful production.

Frequent draughts are encountered due to deficient rains in desert leading to crop failure due to poor seed germination. Farmers do not have sufficient resources to bear the losses out of failure. Some techniques are effective in maintaining the germination. Fennel is the spice crop supporting the desert farmers. A sizable area is under fennel production in desert. Crop failure leads to disturb the economy of farmers. In the present review fennel seeds were pelleted to improve the germination and seed performance.

Depth of sowing for seed spices are kept very shallow (1 to 3cm). Therefore, furrow openers commonly used in seed drills or planter are not very well suited for sowing of seed spices. Some of the spices seed e.g. cumin, coriander and fenugreek are highly sensitive to germination, if proper depth of sowing is not maintained. Even a small layer of soil over the seed affects the germination.

Coriander is an annual seed spice crop, which belongs to family Apiaceae. It is native of Mediterranean region. The aromatic characters of plants are due to presence of linalool compound in essential oil of seeds. The green leaves of coriander are used in salads and are a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Major active constituents of coriander essential oils and fatty oil. The essential oil content of the weight of ripe and a dried fruit of coriander varies between 0.03 and 2.6% and the content of fatty oil varies between 9.9 and 27.7%.

Fourty genotypes of fenugreek were grown at College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during Rabi 2015-16. Grouping of the genotypes was carried-out by following Tocher's method (Rao, 1952). The D2 analysis indicated presence of ample genetic diversity among the genotypes studied, which were grouped into 6 clusters. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster-VI and V followed by cluster-VI and V. The minimum inter-cluster distance was depicted between cluster-V and IV.
