Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield & growth performance of French bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) under subtropical conditions of Garhwal Hills

Abstract

The investigation was conducted at Horticulture research centre of Department of Horticulture, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar (India) during season, 2014-2015, on sandy loam soil, ph having 5.3 to 5.5 to study of integrated nutrient management viz., Rhizobium culture, FYM and along with inorganic fertilizers in French bean under irrigated condition with an objective to study growth and yield without degrading soil quality by using various nu trient compositions. In this investigation, Investigation treatment (T8)(100 % RDF+Rhizobium Culture+Humic Acid) recorded the highest in all observations this may be due to high composition of Nitrogen in inorganic fertilizers which supplement to the plant’s vegetative phase. Thus it may be concluded that Rhizobium culture was found useful than any other type of treatments under irrigated condition of Srinagar valley.
