The present study aims to evaluate the effect of integrated nitrogen management on growth performance characteristics of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) var. contendor under temperate conditions of Kashmir valley during kharif season of 2014 at the research farm of SKUAST-K, Shalimar, Srinagar. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block (RDF) design with 13 treatments and 3 replications. The combination of dalweed compost and vermicompost with bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium) and reduced dose of chemical fertilizers were tested in comparison with RDF [1]. The soil under study was clay loam in texture, medium in available nitrogen (310.10 kgha-1), phosphorus (22.92 kgha-1) and potassium (249.10 kgha-1) with neutral pH (7.2). The physical, chemical and biological parameters of soil were found to be significantly improved under INM practices than organic and chemical management practices. It was observed that the integrated application of nutrient levels had a significant influence on growth, yield and yield parameters in French bean. The results revealed that application of 75% N through urea + 25% N through vermicompost + biofertilizer (Rhizobium) (22.5 kg N + 0.55 t ha-1 + 20 g kg-1 seed) recorded maximum growth plant height (29.13 cm), plant spread (29.17 cm ), maximum number of branches per plant (5.70) and maximum plant biomass (25.70 q ha-1).and yield characters like Maximum seeds per pod (5.50), Maximum 100-seed weight (40.02 g), Maximum seed yield (23.96 q ha-1) and stover yield (29.20 q ha-1). Thus, it may be concluded that integrated nitrogen management (INM) improved the growth and yield of French bean.

Background: French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important and widely grown leguminous vegetable. The area under this crop in protected cultivation is increasing due to its high yield and remunerative price. There is scanty of information on pacing and nutrients for fertigation under protected cultivation. Hence the experiment was carried out to determine the effect of spacing and fertigation on growth and yield parameters in French bean under naturally ventilated polyhouse during Kharif 2018 at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Navile, Shivamogga.Methods: The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. There were 18 treatment combinations comprised of three different spacing treatments and six fertigation treatments. Result: Among all the treatments significantly highest number of primary branches (8.70) and secondary branches (8.50) at 45 days after sowing (DAS), number of pods plant-1 (220.20), pod length (20.66 cm), pod girth (2.95 cm) and pod weight (17.69g) were recorded in the treatment combination with 60 × 75cm with 44:70:53 kg ha-1 + mulching + micronutrient spray. The least number of primary branches (4.27), secondary branches (4.50), number of pods plant-1 (160.33), pod length (15.61cm), pod girth (1.75 cm) and pod weight (13.88g) were observed in the treatment combination with 60 × 45 cm spacing with 33:52.5:39.75 kg of N:P:K kg ha-1. The higher plant height at 45 DAS (480.50 cm) and yield (13.06 t) for 1000 m-2 was found in treatment combination 60 × 45cm with 44:70:53 kg ha-1 + mulching + micronutrient spray (S3T4). It was concluded from the study that, the closer spacing (60 × 45cm) with the combination of 44:70:53 kg ha-1 (N:P:K), mulching and micronutrient spray resulted in higher pod yield (13.06 t) 1000m-2.

Background: French bean is used both as dry seeds or as green pod vegetable and it is in increasing demand throughout Fiji. Limited agronomical information is available for its cultivation which is one of the barriers in increasing its production in country. This research aimed to study the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Fiji. Methods: This research was conducted during April to September 2018 in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and seven treatments of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Observations on growth parameters and yield attributes were recorded and analyzed using analysis of variance technique. Result: Organic and inorganic fertilizers combinations significantly increase the growth and green pod yield of French bean. The applications of nutrient in combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers were found more effective than inorganic fertilizers or organic manure alone for growth and yield of French bean. The combination of 100% NPK (200 kg ha-1) along with Poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 was found most effective for enhancing growth and yield. It was recorded that on the basis of yield and growth performance treatment 100% NPK along with PM @ 5 t ha-1 was superior.

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field laboratory, Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to evaluate the effect of variety and boron on the growth and yield of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during November 2017 to March 2018. The experiment was comprised two factors involving three varieties viz. BARI Jharseem-1, BARI Jharseem-2, BARI Jharseem-3, and four Boron doses viz. 0 (No boron), 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg B   ha-1. Borax was used as a source of boron. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The result exhibited that yield and its contributing characters were significantly influenced the variety and boron applications. The experimental findings revealed that the highest number of pods plant-1 (4.73), effective pods plant-1 (4.01), seeds pod-1 (3.98), 1000-seeds weight (416.53g), seed yield (1.53 t ha-1), stover yield (2.69 t ha-1), biological yield (4.22 t ha-1), and harvest index (36.03%) were highest for the variety BARI Jharseem-3. At the same time, highest number of pods  plant-1 (5.02), number of effective pods plant-1 (4.03), number of seeds pod-1 (4.04), 1000-seed weight (412.74 g), seed yield (1.54 t ha-1), stover yield (3.05 t ha-1), biological yield  (4.59 t ha-1), and harvest index (36.98 %) were recorded under boron level at 1.5 kg  ha-1. Again incase of interaction of variety and boron, highest  number of pods plant-1 (4.95), number of  effective pods plant-1 (3.98), number of seeds pod-1 (3.69), 1000-seeds weight (413.15g), seed yield (1.76 t ha-1), stover yield (3.11 t ha-1), biological yield (4.87 t ha-1) and harvest index (37.19%) were recorded in  BARI Jharseem-3 under boron level 1.5  kg  ha-1. Plant dry matter found positively correlated (r2=0.8126) with seed yield. So, it may be concluded from this experiment that cultivation of var. BARI Jharseem-3 along with 1.5 kg B ha-1 could be applied to obtain higher yield of French bean.
