Abstract :This research was conducted to determine the effects of different organic (500, 1000, 1500, 2000 kg/da) and inorganic fertilizer (5, 10, 15, 20 kg/da DAP and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 kg/da ZnS047H20) on yield and quality of fenugreek at Konya ecological conditions in 2002 and 2003 growing seasons. In the research, crude oil and protein rate, alkaloid (trigonelline) rate were investigated. According to the results obtained from this research; crude oil rate varied between 5.41–10.52 %, crude protein rate between 25.25–32.08 %. alkaloid (trigonelline) rate between 0.86–1.26 %. The heighest crude oil rate (% 10.52) was obtained from 2 kg/da zincsulfate fertilizer applied dose. While the heighest crude protein rate (% 32.08) was obtained from 15 kg/da diamonyumphosphate fertilizer applied dose, the heighest alkaloid (trigonelline) rate (% 1.26) was obtained from 5 kg/da diamonyumphosphate fertilizer applied dose.Keywords : Çemen, Trigonella foenum graecum, kalite, trigonellin, ham yağ, ham protein
