Abstract
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an important not only as a vegetable but also for spice. However, fungal, bacterial, viral, nematodes and insect-pest diseases are major constraints to reduce crop yield of fenugreek. The production and quality of the fenugreek are seriously affected due these diseases. Various management strategies such as cultural, botanical, rhizobacteria and bio control agents, integrated pest management are applying across the world to combat the diseases. The indiscriminate use of chemicals to control fenugreek pathogens is not environment friendly. Use of new resistant varieties, advanced biotechnological methods and resistance inducers are utmost importance for better control of fenugreek diseases. The present chapter summarizes the current knowledge on various fungal, bacterial, viral, nematodes and insect-pest diseases incidence in fenugreek crop and its management strategies.
