Which kasuri methi (fenugreek leaf) variety and sowing time give the best aroma for selling dried?

Kasuri methi is the aromatic small leaved fenugreek prized for its strong smell when dried, and the Nagaur belt of Rajasthan is famous for it. It is a rabi season crop, usually sown in the cooler months from around October to November, since cool weather gives good leaf and the typical strong aroma, while warm weather makes it bolt to seed and lose leaf quality. Pusa Kasuri is a well known variety bred for the multi cut leafy kasuri type, and there are local selections too. Sow on well drained soil, give light frequent irrigation, and take a few cuttings of tender leaf before it flowers. For the exact recommended variety and sowing window for your district, confirm with your KVK, since the aroma and yield depend a lot on cool weather timing.
