The aim of our experiment was to determine the changes of fenugreek (<em>Trigonella foenum-graecum</em>) nutrient content and biomass in the two years under study as a result of nutrient supply, plant protection and irrigation. Fenugreek is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the legumes (Fabaceae) family. It is a multifunctional crop for use in domestic and farm animal feeds, wild fodder, herbs and spices.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> The experiment was carried out in open field on 100 m<sup>2</sup> plots in Kecskemét. Novatec premium fertilizer (15 N – 3 P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> – 20 K<sub>2</sub>O – 2 MgO) was used in the research. The herbicide Pantera 40 EC (active ingredient content: 40 g/l quizalofop-P-tefuryl) was used for weed control.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>. In both years, after the crop emerged fenugreek seeds within a week. In 2018, the average height of plants was 30 cm for the start of harvest. On a plot of 100 m<sup>2</sup>, the dry weight of mowed fenugreek is 13.15 kg dry weight (300 kg/ha Mg treatment). According to our observations, the height of the fenugreek stock reached 50 cm in 2019. The dry weight after harvest is 28.2 kg dry weight (300 kg/ha Mg treatment). The results of the second experimental year are higher than the first year.</p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> The magnesium fertilizer resulted in an increase in the green weight of the fenugreek.</p> ER -
