(Trigonellafoenum-Graecum L.) in the CANADIAN PRAIRIES SEED PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR FENUGREEK (Trigonellafoenum-graecum L.) IN THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES SAIKAT KUMAR BASU M. Sc. Botany University of Calcutta (India), 1998 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Biological Sciences University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA March, 2006 © Saikat K. Basu, 2006 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the memories of my beloved grandmother Ms. Radharani Basu, who passed away in India while I was doing this research work in Lethbridge, AB Canada. Until her death in February, 2005 she was a constant source of love, inspiration and encouragement for me. Although she did not have formal education she always took great interest in my research work and showered me with her blessings whenever I needed them most. iii ABSTRACT Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is an annual legume mainly used as a spice crop in many parts of the world. "Tristar" is a new forage cultivar that requires -120 days to produce mature seed in western Canada where only -100 frost-free days are available. The goal for this study was to reduce maturity duration for the crop through a series of studies on the genetics and agronomic aspects of fenugreek. This two year study suggests that: 1) mutation breeding using Tristar seed as a base population could be successfull; 2) multi-location trials using world accessions exhibited genotype X environment interaction; 3) swathing of plants before freezing temperatures set in; 4) application of phosphate fertilizer increased seed yield and; 5) foliar sprays of chemicals can be used for production of high quality seed. In this study some short duration, high yielding and determinate lines of fenugreek were produced improving the potential for use of fenugreek and the economics of beef production in western Canada. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisors; Dr. James E. Thomas, Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge and Dr. Surya N. Acharya, Senior Research Scientist, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta for their constant support, guidance and encouragement. I would have never been able to complete my thesis without their help and cooperation. I am very grateful for the research support from the Alberta Agriculture Research Institute and the teaching assistantship program at the University of Lethbridge. I also sincerely express my gratitude for the financial assistance provided by the School of Graduate Studies, University of Lethbridge. This assistance was critical for me to pursue my Graduate work at the University of Lethbridge. I am also thankful for the research facilities provided by the above organizations during the course of this study. I extend my sincere gratitude to my graduate committee members Dr. Rene Barendregt, Dr. Igor Kovalchuk and Dr. Manjula Bandara for their valuable suggestions, cooperation and support throughout my study period. I would like to express special thanks to the following organizations and people for their help and support during my research work: University of Lethbridge: All the Professors in the Department of Biological Sciences including the current chair, Dr. Stewart Rood and the academic assistants (Laurie Pacarynuk, Helena Danyk, Katrina White and Joanne Golden) whom I have had the pleasure of working with during the past two years. I thank Prof. David Townsend and Prof. Pamela Adams of the Faculty of Education for giving me excellent training in teaching and Ms. Shelley Ross, Science Librarian, for helping me in library support. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre: Dr. Hector Carcamo and his research group for their help in the entomological study; Dr. Francois Eudes and his research group for their help in providing the critical laboratory chemicals, Dr. Qin Chen, Dr. Haiyan Li, Dr. Rob Graff and James Pruce for their help in the cytogenetic study; Toby Entz for statistical consultation, Dough Friebel and Doug Messenger for their help and support in the agronomy related work; Scott Erickson for his help with crop pathology and Byron Lee for his help in digital microphotography and Scanning Electron Microscopic study. My thanks go to the entire field crops crew and the greenhouse staff for their constant help during my research work. To my friends and relatives: Special thanks are due to my friends particularly Aaron Puhl, Eric Van Galeen, Raj Dass, Franco Nogarin, Sandy Cahoon and their family members. They made my stay in Lethbridge a highly memorable experience. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. (Mrs.) Nina Acharya for all of her help, support, encouragement and advice, so graciously offered and deeply appreciated. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents and family members back in India for their love, support and constant encouragements during the past two years. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: Background 2.1.

Based on some evidence on the characteristics of fenugreek as a medical plant with anti-inflammato- ry and analgesic properties, this double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial was conducted. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of fenu- greek seeds on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea among students. Methods: Unmarried Students were randomly assigned to two groups who received fenugreek (n=51) or placebo (n=50). For the first 3 days of menstruation, 2−3 cap- sules containing fenugreek seed powder (900 mg) were given to the subjects three times daily for two consecutive menstrual cycles. Pain severity was evaluated using a visual analog scale and systemic symptoms were assessed using a multidimension- al verbal scale. * Corresponding Author: Sedigheh Amiraliakbari, Results: Pain severity at baseline did not differ significantly between the two Department of Midwifery, groups. Pain severity was significantly reduced in both groups after the intervention; School of Nursing and however, the fenugreek group experienced significantly larger pain reduction Midwifery, Shahid (p<0.001).

  • FAQ Fenugreek Seed for Increasing Milk Supply
    FAQ-FENUGREEK INFORMATION Fenugreek Seed for Increasing Milk Supply By Kelly Bonyata, IBCLC EFFECT ON MILK PRODUCTION Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) appears to be the herb that is most often used to increase milk supply. It has been reported to be an excellent galactagogue for some mothers, and has been used as such for centuries. The few studies that have been done have had mixed results [Swafford 2000, Reeder -pharmaceutical methods of increasing milk supply should be tried first, as there can be significant side effects from both herbal remedie2011, Turkyılmazs and prescription 2011] . Keep medications in mind thatused in to almost increase all milkcases, supply. non See the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s protocol #9 on the use of galactogogues. Mothers generally notice an increase in production 24-72 hours after starting the herb, but it can take two weeks for others to see a change. Some mothers do not see a change in milk production when taking fenugreek. Dosages of less than 3500 mg per DAY have been reported to produce no effect in many women. One way reported to determine if you’re taking the correct dosage is to slowly increase the amount of fenugreek until your sweat and urine begin to smell like maple syrup. If you’re having problems with any side effects, discontinue use and consider alternative methods of increasing milk supply. Fenugreek has been used either short-term to boost milk supply or long-term to augment supply and/or pumping yields. There are no studies indicating problems with long-term usage.

  • Effect of Mint and Fenugreek and Mixture on Production and Immunity of Broilers
    Journal of Kerbala University , Vol. 12 No.2 Scientific . 2014 EFFECT OF MINT AND FENUGREEK AND MIXTURE ON PRODUCTION AND IMMUNITY OF BROILERS تأثير النعناع والحلبة وخليطهما على اﻷداء اﻹنتاجي والمناعي لفروج اللحم Assist.Lec. Ali .R .Abed/Veterinary Medicine College- Kerbala University Assist.Lec.
