Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur

ABSTRACTA field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2013-14 at vegetable farm, College of

Horticulture, Mandsaur to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield andits attributes in french bean with 6 nutrient levels N

1, N

2, N

3, N

4, N

5 and N

6and 3 varieties viz., Arka

Komal , Contender and Swarna Priya ; replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design. Observationwere recorded on plant height (cm), fresh weight of shoot (g), dry weight of shoot (g), days taken to50% flowering, number of pod /plant, number of seed /pod, pod length (cm), seed yield /plant (g). Itwas observed that application of nutrient level and varieties had significant influence on growth, yieldand yield parameters in french bean. Variety Swarna Priya recorded the highest values of growth, yieldand yield parameters of french bean. Similarly; nutrient level N

4recorded the maximum highest values of

growth, yield and yield parameters of french bean which were significantlysuperior to other treatments.
