Present experiment was carried out at Horticulture Research
Block, School of Agricultural Sciences, Shri Guru Ram Rai University,
Dehradun, Uttarakhand to study the effect of integrated nutrient
management on growth and yield of French bean cultivar Pant Anupma
under subtropical conditions of Dehradun. Treatments included twelve
combinations viz. T1 (Without any organic, inorganic or biofertilizer
application), T2 (50% RDF i,e 15:25:15 Kg NPK/ha, respectively), T3
(75% RDF i,e 22.5:37.5:22.5 Kg NPK/ha, respectively), T4 (100% RDF
i,e 30:50:30 Kg NPK/ha, respectively), T5 (FYM @ 5 ton/ha), T6 (VC @
2.4 ton/ha)), T7 (Biofertilizer viz., Rhizobium + PSB @ 20g/kg seed),T8
(50% FYM + 50% VC + Biofertilizer), T9 (50% RDF + 50% FYM), T10
(50% RDF + 50% VC), T11 (50% RDF+ Biofertilizer) and T12 (50% RDF
+ 50% FYM + 50% VC + Bio-fertilizer). The experiment was laid out
in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Results revealed
that the yield attributes and yield increased significantly over control
and highest pods/plant (13.40), seeds/pod (5.00), pod length (11.01
cm), 100-seed weight (g) and seed yield (1386.67 kg/ha) were recorded
with application of 100% RDF but showed no significant difference
with treatment T12 (50% RDF + 50% FYM + 50% VC + Biofertilizer).
Among growth and quality parameters, highest plant height (33.50
cm), primary branches (4.80, secondary branches (4.40), LAI (5.77), total
dry weight (22.00), protein content (21.20%) and protein yield (294.01
kg/ha) were also recorded with application of 100% RDF and lowest
in control.Keywords: French bean, Organic, Inorganic, Biofertilizers, Yield
