Slow release water soluble micronutrient brick was developed, using micronutrient mixed with polyethylene glycol 200. Two categories were maintained, one dissolved in water as foliar spray and another as solid (brick-spray). Treatment was given to two pot cultures of Trigonella foenum graceum (Fenugreek) containing one as foliar spray, another containing cubic brick and a control without treatment. After 30 days total chlorophyll, carbohydrates, lipid and proteins were determined. The total chlorophylls, carbohydrates, lipid and protein contents were enhanced in the Trigonella foenum graceum pot containing cubic brick as compared to foliar spray and control pot.
