Productive potential of fenugreek (Fabaceae: Trigonella Foenum-Graecum L.) in Venezuela
A bibliographical review about fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) botanical description, growth, and production was carried out, as well as its chemical composition, forage and medicinal quality with the goal to evaluate adaptation possibilities of this species to some ecoregions of Venezuela. Descriptions related to climate, vegetation, slope types and soils in Venezuela have been made, which are compared to fenugreek adaptation in other regions of the world. According to morphological characteristics and suitable conditions of altitude to introduce this species as a crop, it is necessary to identify seed sources more reliable and carry out quality site studies that identify appropriate areas to establish this species under crop production.
