About this variety

Lam Selection-1 was released in 1992 by Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University at Lam, Guntur, through selection from germplasm collected in Madhya Pradesh. It is a bushy plant that produces medium-sized, golden-yellow seed, and is documented as tolerant of powdery mildew, root rot, caterpillars and aphids — a broader combined tolerance than most other fenugreek releases on this list, which typically carry proven resistance to only one or two of these threats. A specific days-to-maturity or yield-per-hectare figure could not be confirmed from available sources for this variety, unlike the RMt lines or Hisar Sonali; a grower considering it should confirm current agronomic numbers with the local Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) or Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University directly.

Pest & disease considerations

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • Documented tolerance to four separate threats at once — powdery mildew, root rot, caterpillars and aphids — a wider combined profile than most other fenugreek releases.
  • Bushy plant habit with medium-sized, golden-yellow seed, an established variety in Andhra Pradesh's fenugreek belt.

Things to consider

  • No specific duration or yield figure could be confirmed from available sources — verify current numbers with a local KVK or the releasing university before relying on this variety for planning.

Suitable regions
